The Spain forward Álvaro Morata was seen limping and holding his knee after a security guard slipped and slid into him following La Roja’s 2-1 win over France in their Euro 2024 semi-final.

Morata, who was substituted after 76 minutes of the game, was seen grimacing and in some discomfort after the incident, which occurred as the Spain players were celebrating at the end of the pitch in front of their fans. A pitch invader came in from the side and tried to take a selfie with some of the players, and the security guard was trying to get to him when he slipped and fell into Morata.
