Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon admits having a heart-to-heart with Alvaro Morata about his career.

Morata left Juve for Real Madrid last week.

"I remember at the start of the season and, like all lads when they are not going through a positive moment, they tend to get depressed, find little alibis and feel sorry for themselves," recalled Buffon.

“I told him that when he stopped feeling sorry for himself, he'd get back to making the difference. That proved to be the case. He is intelligent, he listens to advice and puts himself up for the challenge.

“The way he ended the season and what he's doing in the Euros confirms all of that."
