Morata: Juventus not inferior to Barcelona

Juventus striker Alvaro Morata insists there's no inferiority complex meeting Barcelona in the Champions League final.

Morata joined Juve from Real Madrid last summer and has been outstanding in the second-half of the season.

"We are certainly not going to Berlin thinking we are inferior to Barcelona," Morata told UEFA's official website.

"We wouldn't even go there if we thought we had no chance of winning. Obviously scoring against Barcelona would not be as painful as it was scoring against Madrid [in the semis] but I need to actually score before thinking about celebrations.

"Getting a goal in a Champions League final against Barcelona is no easy task.

"I played for Madrid for many years, I'm not going to say it's an extra motivation for me because you don't need extra motivation when you play a Champions League final, but facing Barça will always be special for me."
