As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition, commenting on AC Milan's 1-0 loss against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League matchday 2, Alvaro Morata alone was not enough for Paulo Fonseca yesterday.
The Spaniard's impact in half an hour, however, was deeper than that left by other teammates in 90 minutes.
In fact, Rafael Leao almost always ends up crashing into opposing defences, despite being more proactive. Yet, his final choice was never the right one. Theo also had a poor performance: it wasn't his best game in the Rossoneri colours.
Christian Pulisic was the only one who tried in the first half while Tammy Abraham fought upfront but was left isolated. Milan took 17 shots without scoring, and they lost. The same happened (a defeat) against Borussia Dortmund in 2023.
