Alvaro Morata hailed the manner of Atletico Madrid's Champions League win over Liverpool.

Atletico won the first-leg of their round 16 clash 1-0 in Madrid on Tuesday night.

Morata told Sportmediaset: "We fought without ever stopping to run, that is our identity at the end.

"The challenge tonight? We are a united group, strong: even on TV I think we gave that feeling. And when it is, sooner or later satisfactions come."

He also said: "If I want to find Juve in the final? I prefer not to meet them at least in the Champions League. The favourites are Liverpool, Juve and PSG, even if they lost today."
