By now, he never misses an opportunity to showcase his improvements in every aspect, not only as a footballer but, above all, as a man. Rafael Leao has taken Milan under his wing, and on a challenging night against Red Star, he scored a goal of technical brilliance and mental dominance that struck fear into his opponents. But there’s much more, as highlighted by Corriere dello Sport.
He hadn’t scored in a Champions League home game in 400 days—the last time being that stunning overhead kick against PSG. That was a different Rafa. Still wearing the number 10, but with a more self-centered mindset and less inclined to work for the team.

A year later, Rafael Leao can do it all.
He even shields his teammates from the danger of a draw that could have jeopardized qualification for the top 8 with two matchdays left in the group stage.
The Rossoneri can keep dreaming thanks to this Leão, who has become a lifesaver in tough European matches. First in Madrid, then the goal in Bratislava, and yesterday’s opener at San Siro. And finally, true leader-like statements:
"With the team we have, we must do much better in front of our fans. We made life difficult for ourselves, but in the end, we got the three points. It’s a mental issue, if you don’t give your all in these matches, the opponents gain confidence.” The treatment of temporary exclusion has yielded spectacular results.
Leao's numbers this season:
So far this season, the left-winger has made 20 appearances between Serie A, Coppa Italia, and UEFA Champions League competitions. He managed to score six times and he was also able to register six assists to his name. In total, he played just over 1400 minutes across the three competitions.
Leao's contract runs until the summer of 2028. But, as always, he has been linked with several clubs reportedly interested in making a move for him.
