Talking about the game, Alvaro Morata was criticised by Pirlo for missing out on an open goal. The goal was set up by Ronaldo and there was no chance that the goalkeeper could even block that one. Morata went on to scuff a backheel and the ball landed in another direction. This did not go down well with Pirlo and he said that this made him angry.
