After a first part of the season with some ups and downs and few goals scored, Rafael Leao has turned things around since the beginning of 2024 and is now dragging Milan with his plays: the numbers say that the Portuguese, with the goal and the assist against Fiorentina, has reached a total of 11 goals for the season and has provided 11 decisive assists. Important numbers that perfectly illustrate how crucial the contribution of the Milan number 10 is.
Tuttosport reports this morning that April has started, which means the month that will say a lot about Milan's season: Lecce, Roma, Sassuolo, Roma, Inter, and Juventus are crucial matches for the second place in the league and for Milan's journey towards the Europa League final.
For his part, Stefano Pioli expects Leao to make the difference in the coming weeks with goals and assists.
AC Milan is flying in the new year and for this reason, there is some regret for some missteps during the season. Leao, a true leader, stated recently: "We've talked about it with Pioli in these weeks, it doesn't matter how you start but how you finish. We want to finish the season well, without regrets. In Florence, we achieved success, we are also in the Europa League, a tournament that Milan has never won and that we want to win." And to do that, the Rossoneri club needs the decisive version of Leao.
