An argument between Spanish striker Alvaro Morata following the Euro 2024 final has reportedly led to them filing for divorce.
Morata was a part of Luis de la Fuente's Spanish squad that was victorious over England in the Euro 2024 final this summer.
After the win, the Spanish captain was seen celebrating with his wife Alice Campello, 29, and their four children.

However, it has now been reported that the pair began to argue and that this disagreement led to their divorce months later.
According to the report from Marca, via the Daily Mail, the argument started as Campello only wanted herself, the pair's children and her friends to get onto the pitch to celebrate with her husband, leaving Morata's parents and other family members on the sidelines.
And now, just two months later in August the pair have separated following seven years of marriage, insisting that they still love each other and denying rumours that Morata had appeared in explicit photographs with another woman.

Confirming their split on an Instagram story, the 31-year-old forward wrote: "After some time of reflection, Alice and I have made the decision to part ways. A WONDERFUL and RESPECTFUL reciprocal relationship where we have loved and helped each other a lot.
"They have been wonderful years and the result of them is our four children, who are undoubtedly the best thing we have ever done."
According to Alexis Rivas on Vamos a Ver, Campello is set to receive half of Morata's earnings, with the striker not willing to contest the community property agreement that the pair signed so that the split can be confirmed quickly, as he is said to be struggling with the separation.

"I am tired of people saying that I was unfaithful to Alice because I didn't even go to the national team party so that this type of rumour wouldn't arise," Morata told the D Corazon programme on La 1, via AS.
"Since then I haven't spoken to anyone out of respect for her and so that this type of news doesn't arise.
"I am devastated. I have fled Spain because I cannot bear the pressure and criticism any longer."
