AC Milan forward Rafael Leao has responded to his critics with his superb performance in the Champions League victory against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.
Speaking after the match at the San Siro to Sport Mediaset (via Milan News), the Portuguese forward was keen to point out that he does his talking on the pitch when it comes to responding to those who like to criticise him.
Many pundits have been suggesting that Leao may not be the right sort of player for Milan due to a perceived lack of effort without the ball, but his goal and great performance against PSG have shown what he can do.
“They [the critics] push me. People can keep talking, I talk on the pitch,” Leao said.
On what this win means for the team after a tough run of form, Leao said that the team showed their true colours on Tuesday.
“Today we showed who we really are, I have no words, I am delighted,” he said.
Milan won the game 2-1 thanks to goals from Leao and Olivier Giroud after Milan Skriniar had opened the scoring.
