Looking back at the 2021-22 season, the Scudetto was indeed almost a miracle for Milan. Despite arguably having a ‘worse’ squad than the top contenders, they played as a team and thus managed to clinch points week after week.
In his interview with Sky Italia, as cited by MilanNews, Leao shared his thoughts on the Scudetto season and more specifically his favourite memory from it. His answer is one that most Milan fans can relate to.
“One match in particular stands out. Against Lazio, with a goal from Tonali. It was a ‘team moment’, we didn’t give up until the end. After that match we understood that it was written, it was destiny, we knew that we would win the Scudetto,” he stated.
Leao has received some criticism in recent weeks for his performances but Curva Sud, the Rossoneri’s ultras, offered their support earlier today. It is clear that the winger is a fantastic player on a good day, and now he just needs to find that consistency.
