After weeks of criticism from all sides, sometimes even unjustified, today Rafael Leao is enjoying all the praise he deserves. Especially from Gazzetta dello Sport, which dedicates a front-page article to the Portuguese number 10, one of the key protagonists of the Rossoneri's night at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid.
Rafa was involved in all three of Milan's goals, in one way or another, and in general, he was a constant thorn in the side of Madrid's right flank, which was left struggling to deal with both him and Theo, as relayed via Milannews.it.
This morning, Gazzetta dello Sport headlines the Milan star:
"Leao is a luxury. Rafa's comeback. This is how he became the 'Real breaker'."
The Portuguese left-winger, despite not scoring, is decisive in all three Rossoneri goals.
It was a dominant performance on perhaps the most important stage in all of Europe, and at the most challenging moment of his Milan career.
Even Alvaro Morata praised Rafael Leao:
"We never had doubts. He, too, needs to realise he can make football history; he’s clearly stronger than all of us."
