AC Milan forward Rafael Leao has not had the season who would have hoped for, but he has still managed to post numbers that place him above many great players from the same position.
Numbers compiled by Milan Zone show that the Portuguese forward, whilst getting a lot of negative press throughout the season, is still posting numbers that are worthy of praise and respect.
Across all competitions so far, Leao has scored nine goals and registered eight assists, the latest goal being his opener in the 1-1 draw against Atalanta on Sunday night.
When compared to the following left-sided attacking players, he has got the most assists and the third-highest goals tally: Vincius Jr (Real Madrid), Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich), Mykhailo Mudryk (Chelsea), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Napoli), Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Jeremy Doku (Man City), Marcus Rashford (Man Utd), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal) and Luis Diaz (Liverpool).
Every single one of those players have got less assists across all competitions than Leao, and only Vinicius Jr and Luis Diaz have scored more goals. Vini jr has got 12 and Diaz has got 10.
The next closest in terms of assists is Vini Jr who has seven, followed by Rashford who has got six so far this season.
