Danilo spoke on Juventus’ official YouTube channel about the strongest opponents he has faced in his career, and he named the French full-back and the Portuguese winger as the two.
“It’s not easy to defend against Leao. He’s one of those I like best to face. Like Theo Hernandez, I like facing them because they are strong and fast and tests my qualities,” he said (via MilanNews).
It is perhaps not a surprise to hear Leao and Theo credited by an opponent given they have formed a lethal partnership down the left flank which has really blossomed this season and has been a big part of Milan’s current standing atop the Serie A table.
The former Lille man has hit double figures in goals in what has been a breakout season of sorts after a couple of inconsistent campaigns, while the former Real Madrid defender continues to establish himself as one of the best attacking full-backs in the world.
