After losing the Nations League final against Portugal, Spanish striker Alvaro Morata hinted that he could quit the national team.
In a statement to the media after the match, he said that in September “I might not be here anymore” with “La Roja”.
His words sound like a farewell and mark a possible end to an era for Morata, who was part of the Spanish team's attack for many years.
The hint comes after a missed penalty in the dramatic series after regular time that cost Spain the trophy.
The question remains open whether this is an emotional reaction in a moment of disappointment or the beginning of an official withdrawal from the international scene.
