This season, AC Milan have struggled to find consistency in their frontline, so others have had to pop up with important goals, as shown again this weekend.
The story of the season, unfortunately, has been on Milan’s inability to rely on its stars. Both Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic have been in a constant battle with their bodies, and neither has been able to show their best as a result.

On the few occasions that they have been able to play together, they have also fallen below the hopes of them; an unfortunate reality.
However, Massimiliano Allegri has been able to call upon others.
Pavlovic’s potential unleashed
Gazzetta dello Sport, this morning, writes that it takes a lot to wonder where the Rossoneri would be, had they had their attack firing on all cylinders. However, they have not been afforded that luxury.
Instead, they have been supported by Allegri’s ‘unlikely weapons’. Adrien Rabiot does not factor into that group, but it does apply to Strahinja Pavlovic, whose attacking prowess this season has been notable.
He is having the best season of his career, showing substantial growth from last season’s shakiness. Defensively, he looks much more comfortable, and the danger from him is now when he progresses up the pitch.
Scoring four goals this season, he has been decisive on three occasions – against Roma, Cremonese and now Torino. Few would’ve expected this side of his game to be improved so successfully, but no one is complaining.
I hope we are not relying on Pavlovic to win scudeto. His goal contribution is a welcome bonus but we need players we have paid for that purpose to start performing.
When the strikers are incapable of scoring, it’s good that others will rise to the occasion. 😛
But if we are actually counting on Fofana & Pavlovic score more we’re scr3wed.
*to score
Our strikers are garbage, we continue cheating ourselves that Leao is super Star ⭐ while in reality he’s super SLOW 😛
I swear Leao he’s the one that holding milan back, without Leao I can bet we should have been on the table now. Before you abuse or blame me please put your eyes on Leao whenever we playing, you’ll realize that all what he’s doing is just walking around the Field. He can’t tackle to bring the ball back, and when he had been given the ball by teammate he’ll squandered it. Chai!!!
Leao is getting older but his brilliant is shading away
Oga, which one is arsenal 4 life and you commenting here using words like “our” on Milan’s platform?
You’re better off following the EPL as nothing you have said about Milan makes any sense.
Go away, ignorant troll
