Álvaro Morata, a 33-year-old forward, is still without a goal for Leganés after four games and 246 minutes in LaLiga Hypermotion. In the 0-2 defeat against Castellón on September 28, he missed an opportunity inside the box and left Butarque amidst some boos after being substituted in the 77th minute. Leganés' transfer market brought him in on loan this past summer from Como.

Álvaro Morata cannot find the goal at Butarque

Morata arrived at Leganés on August 28, loaned by Como 1907 until the end of the season with a purchase option. The deal made the forward one of the signings for the pepinero team for the 2026/27 campaign.

His debut came on September 4 against Las Palmas. He started and played 66 minutes, but both chances he had were disallowed for offside.

Following games against Tenerife, Granada, and Castellón. Morata has 4 matches, 246 minutes, 0 goals, and 0 assists in the Second Division.

The problem became more evident against Castellón. Leganés lost 0-2, and Morata had an opportunity at four minutes, after a pass from Patrick Soko, but his shot from the small box went wide.

Leganés supports Morata despite the boos

The reaction from Butarque came in the final stretch. Morata was substituted in the 77th minute, and part of the crowd showed its discontent after the forward failed to capitalize on another favorable situation during the game.

Rubén Albés later defended his forward. The Leganés coach pointed out that Morata remains an important piece for the team and affirmed he will eventually find the net.

Atienza also backed the player after the match. The midfielder mentioned that Morata understands that mistakes are part of football and highlighted his role within the squad.

The sporting context is not helping Leganés either. The team lost 0-2 to a Castellón who reached 19 points out of 21 possible, while the pepineros suffered their second defeat in the first seven rounds.

Álvaro Morata has a season to change the scenario

The forward joined Leganés from Como on loan until June 2027 with a buy option, meaning his continuity will also depend on the agreed conditions between the clubs.

Morata's next chance will be in matchday 8, following a goalless start that has already sparked criticism in Butarque. The coaching staff supports him, but upcoming matches will determine if he can turn his minutes into offensive output.

For Álvaro Morata, the next goal is to open his scoring account with Leganés and change a record that, after 246 minutes, remains at zero goals and zero assists.
