Blessed be September 1, 2025, the day Milan announced the permanent signing of Adrien Rabiot. The arrival of the French midfielder helped change the Rossoneri’s story this season. Since he joined, the Diavolo have never lost a league match, and Allegri pushed hard for his signing right after the only Serie A defeat, suffered on opening day against Cremonese at San Siro. Once again last night in Bologna, the 'wild horse' proved decisive.
It is not so much about his fourth goal and fourth assist of the season, both recorded yesterday at the Dall’Ara and still important. More than anything, it is his ability to be a leader in every sense. Technical, through his play and his presence across the pitch, but also a moral leader, inside the dressing room.
After Milan’s opening goal last night, scored by Loftus-Cheek, Adrien Rabiot immediately went over to embrace Nkunku, who moments earlier had squandered a clear chance. A gesture worth more than a thousand words.
