Rafael Leao, dealing with several injuries that have kept him off the pitch for long stretches, more than we had become used to in recent years, remains a fundamental piece for the attack and for the team as a whole.
A driving force who, despite some ups and downs, always posts impressive numbers, especially in terms of goals and assists. There have been many matches this season as well in which Rafa has made a decisive impact, starting with the most recent league game against Fiorentina, where his brace allowed Milan to overturn the result, and going back to the Italian Super Cup final against Inter, played about a year ago, when he came on at 0–2 and provided the assist for Abraham’s 3–2 goal in the 90th minute. But what did Rafa’s 2025 look like in numerical terms?
Rafael Leao's numbers:
40 total appearances across Serie A, the Champions League, the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup. 12 goals scored and 8 assists provided, for a total of 20 goals in which Rafael Leao had a direct hand. That works out to an average of one goal or assist every two matches.
The ex Lille player received 9 yellow cards and 0 red cards, came on as a substitute 10 times and was substituted 17 times. A significant 2025, one that Rossoneri fans hope will be a positive sign for the new year that has just begun, as pointed out by MilanNews.it.
