In this end of the season, where there's a second place in the league to secure and a trophy like the Europa League to try to lift, Milan will once again rely on Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud, just as it happened in the year of the league title when together they pushed the Rossoneri forward at this time of the year. This morning, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the understanding between the two is at its peak.
After a first part of the season with some ups and downs, the Portuguese left-winger turned the corner from January onwards, contributing to 14 goals (6 goals and 8 assists). In Italy, no one has done better than him. Leao is in great shape, as Stefano Pioli also explained a few days ago: "We are reaching the most important moment with Leao in excellent condition." This end of the season could consecrate the best ever version seen of Leao.
If Rafael Leao's future will still be at Milan, Giroud's will be far from the club as he already has a team waiting for him in the USA (Los Angeles FC). After the victory against Lecce, the Frenchman stated that he's not thinking about the future, that nothing is yet certain, and that his only thought is to finish the season with Milan in the best possible way. Leaving with the Europa League trophy would certainly be the best way to bid farewell to the Rossoneri club.
