AC Milan started April in the best possible way as they beat Napoli 4-0 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona last night, and some promising signs came from Rafael Leao.
As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports this morning, not even the most optimistic of Milan fans thought that such a result could be obtainable against the league leaders, but the Rossoneri dominated last night in their trip south.
The Scudetto will soon belong to Napoli, but from a Champions League perspective this result gives the Rossoneri greater confidence and perhaps takes away some of the optimism from the Partenopei that they could stroll into the semi-finals.
In Europe it will be a completely different story, but yesterday’s match showed that the Rossoneri are still more than capable of beating the best in the country, and Rafael seems to have finally ‘awakened from hibernation’.
The Portuguese winger had a few rather complicated weeks but the brace he scored meant that his goal drought ended after two and a half months. Milan need the best version of Leao for the top four race, and also in Europe.
“Rafael seems to have finally ‘awakened from hibernation’.”
Nice one, Tuttosport!
I see their columnists are reading sempremilan.com comments section.
Just to add ,I did say before the game we could beat Napoli and we did ..What a superb team performance.
If we can play like that then we can beat anyone ..
I also predict we will knock out Napoli in the champions leauge ..what a game rafeol leao played ..
What a game Tonali played and what can I say about salamakers..what a performance from him .
Yes every player did well .so proud of you AC Milan .
“If we can play like that then we can beat anyone ..”
IF. We’ve outplayed Napoli, Juventus, Spurs etc. but it’s always the cremoneses, salernitanas and udineses that we struggle with. I wasn’t too worried about Napoli and actually thought we got lucky in the UCL draw because Milan have dominated against Napoli for the past 3-4 matches already (despite two defeats but still if you watched the matches you’d know…).
Now it’s essential to keep up the good attitude and get 9p from Empoli, Bologna & Lecce too.
