In a surprising twist, Álvaro Morata has found himself at the centre of a rather unexpected social media exchange with the Mayor of Corbetta.
The Spanish striker, currently playing for AC Milan, was the subject of a provocative online post by the local official.
In his post, the Mayor cheekily responded to Morata by sharing an image of the Inter Milan emblem, accompanied by two waving hand emojis, suggesting playful rivalry.
This act has not gone unnoticed, sparking interest and amusement among supporters and football enthusiasts alike.
When asked for a response, Morata remarked, “It’s all in good fun. Football is not just played on the field; it can be a light-hearted rivalry online too,” as reported by Gazetta dello Sport.
The exchange highlights the lively nature of football rivalries in Italy, even at the local governmental level.
