As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper in this morning's print edition, Rafael Leao yesterday missed the on-field celebration with his teammates after the victory over Club Brugge.
Paulo Fonseca had given him the chance for redemption. It can't be said that he wasted it, but neither has he fully seized it.
His frustration is evident. In the first eleven matches of the season, Leao, the highest-paid player on the squad, has only scored one goal. And these are the undeniable facts.
The Portuguese left-winger is still not at his best form. He must step up his game, especially in the European stage.
