The impact Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot have had on the Rossoneri is impressive. The Croatian midfielder, now 40, looks among the youngest on the pitch, and he brings control in possession and in defensive work that the team had not seen for a long time. The French midfielder is the key balance point in Allegri’s setup, and this was clear on Sunday night when he returned after a month out with a muscle injury.
Modric and Rabiot share one trait that matters most for Milan’s ambitions, experience. La Gazzetta dello Sport highlights this shared strength and writes the following:
“Scudetto specialists. Modric-Rabiot, winners fit for Milan.”
The piece also brings Rafael Leao into the picture, "Seeking confirmation." The subtitle reads, "Milan decided to rebuild through the mentality of winners. With them, Rafa and the younger players target new success. Pulisic has no domestic titles." Modric won seven league titles between Dinamo and Real Madrid. Rabiot won six between PSG and Juventus.
