Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez, those two were the true stars of the match against Empoli. Or rather, of the second half, since the Portuguese and the Mexican, along with another standout performer in Christian Pulisic, who provided two assists, came on at halftime and transformed a Milan side that had been too predictable and sluggish in attack up until that point.
For this reason, the main protagonists are precisely those two: the number 10 and the number 7.
Tuttosport shared the following headline:
"Leao-Gimenez, what a Rossoneri team!"
The subheading reads:
"Milan struggles in the first half against an aggressive Empoli. In the second half, Tomori and Marianucci are sent off within 10 minutes, but the game-changing moments come from the stars off the bench."
A key phrase in the subtitle: "The same attitude will be needed against Feyenoord." Indeed, the Rossoneri are set for a Champions League clash this week.
