AC Milan drew their first Champions League game this season against Newcastle at the San Siro stadium. Today, they have a chance to redeem themselves against a tough Borussia Dortmund side.
The match will be played at the Signal Iduna Park and Pioli will be hoping that all of his players, especially Leao, will be at a top form.
Milan relies on Rafael Leao
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, this is his night: if he has already proved to be decisive in Serie A on several occasions, the next step for the Portuguese is to become consistently decisive in Europe too. The Portuguese is needed, not just in terms of performances, but also in terms of delivering goals as he has not scored in the Champions League since October 2022 against Dinamo Zagreb.
Scoring tonight against Borussia Dortmund in Germany would be really important as AC Milan have to try to bring home the three valuable points.
Rafael Leao is a top leader for AC Milan, but...
The 24-year-old has now become one of the undisputed leaders of the Rossoneri, but he still has plenty of room for improvement. As Stefano Pioli believes, the journey of the former Lille talent from being a great player to a champion is not yet complete, and it is undeniable that Champions League nights are the perfect stage to take another step forward towards his ultimate consecration.
