Rafael Leao was a key player for AC Milan in their 4-0 win against Udinese last night. As highlighted by the journalist Sandro Sabatini, if the winger wanted to, then he could win the Ballon d’Or three years in a row.
Leao opened the scoring for Milan with a lovely curling effort, leaving the goalkeeper absolutely no chance. Then, he was heavily involved in the third goal and assisted the fourth, showing just how decisive he can be on a good night. Rightfully so, he was named the MOTM by the papers.
In his editorial for Calciomercato.com this morning, the journalist Sandro Sabatini shared his thoughts on Milan’s unexpected win. Among other things, he stated that Leao could win the Ballon d’Or three years in a row if he applied himself consistently.
“The surprise, not only as a starter, is Jovic with expert in movements with and without the ball, which gives serenity to the whole team. And then there is Leao who plays like… Leao. Nothing new. If he had the desire and continuity equal to his talent, he would be the Ballon d’Or for three years in a row,” he writes.
Perhaps a bit exaggerated from the journalist, but the point remains that Leao could be a lot more decisive for Milan on a consistent basis. He has the quality, quite clearly, and when he plays like yesterday then few can stop him.
No way. He has technical limits in his passing and finishing. He is a great player, but will never be at the level of top wingers. There are at least 10 wingers better than Leao: Vinicius, Rodrigo, Jamal, Rapinha, Luis Diaz, Salah, Gakpo, Krava, Barcola, Dembele, Oliseh, Lookman, Saka…
Ode ni yin sir! Do there have the same caliber of players around them? You don’t have to agree, on a technical level Leao is stronger (better) than most of your pick here. They are only in a better and more compact team. I will confidently pick Leao ahead of most the wingers available now.
What do you mean by technically? Because shooting, finishing, accuracy in long and short pass, ability to make the right choice to me are technical aspects. Same as dribbling, which is the one in which Leao is indeed among the top 2-3 in the world.
Lol 😂

Lmao joke of century, in Madrid there are Vinicius,Valverde,Bellingham and Mbappe, in Barcelona there are Raphinha,Pedri and Lamine there are various players from other clubs such as Salah, Rodri,Haaland,Musiala,Saka that are miles better than Leao, hell even in MIlan itself Pulisic already better than him.
