In Serie A, goals come from the left flank and Rafa Leao is, once again this season, one of the best." This is what is said in today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, which focuses on the importance of the left side for Italian clubs.
Looking at the numbers, the Portuguese player of AC Milan is one of the most decisive left-wingers in the entire championship, despite not scoring for almost two months. In fact, tnumber 17 is second, tied with Zaccagni and behind Kvaratskhelia, for the number of goals scored (8), and third, together with Mario Rui, for assists (7), the last of which was against Atalanta last Saturday.
The 23-year-old whose contract expires at the end of the season will not play against Fiorentina due to a yellow card suspension. So far this season, he has 9 goals and 10 assists in all competitions.
