The youngster had played a mere seven minutes prior to coming off the bench against Chelsea in London (24-minute display). He then played the full 90 against both Juventus and Chelsea at San Siro, impressing the fans.
As highlighted by MilanNews, Gabbia has earned the appreciation of the fans after getting thrown into action by Pioli. He did well in both clashes, despite competing against the likes of Dusan Vlahovic and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
At the age of 22, he remains a very promising centre-back and the recent displays have only confirmed this. Above all, as the report highlights, he managed to intercept many balls before the strikers and also won many duels. This got him some mentions in intentional media as well.
Pioli is very happy with the response from Gabbia, who has really risen to the occasion in a time of difficulty injury-wise for Milan.
