Rome, Italy, Aug 7, 2022 (AFP) - Alvaro Morata, who returned to Atletico Madrid in July after two years on loan at Juventus, scored a hat-trick in Sunday's friendly against the Italian side in Turin.

The Spain striker struck twice in the first half and then completed his treble on the hour in a match relocated to Turin from Israel because of "security concerns" in the region.

Matheus Cunha added a fourth in stoppage time for Atletico, who begin their La Liga campaign against Getafe on August 15. Juventus start the Serie A season the same day at home to Sassuolo.
