Rafael Leao had a tough evening yesterday as AC Milan faced Paris Saint-German in the third round of the Champions League group stage. Unlike Kylian Mbappe, who is the star of the home side, the Rossoneri star didn’t impress.
After no goals in the first two games, many Milan fans were hoping that the first one would come against PSG last night. However, the struggles continued for the Rossoneri and above all Leao, who didn’t look at all convincing (he was rated at 4.5/10 in our ratings).
As highlighted by today’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews), both teams entered the game with a star each, namely Mbappe and Leao. Only the former lived up to the expectations, scoring the opening goal and leading his side while the Portuguese winger struggled to impose himself.
Leao’s struggles in Europe are evident, having not scored for over a year, and in 25 appearances between Europa League and Champions League, he has just three goals. The Milan star must learn from Mbappe, who not only used his quality but put in the right effort, working very hard from start to finish.
