"This weekend, AC Milan needed a reaction from Rafael Leao, and they got one. The star scored a brace, and it could be the true start. When Leao missed those two chances against Juventus, Fabrizio Romano stated that the international break would likely be made up of rumours about him, and it was true. Over the past two weeks, we have seen a lot of focus on the Portuguese."
"So, when he returned early, he headed straight to Milanello to work, keen to prove himself to Massimiliano Allegri. Leao's message This weekend, the theory needed to be proven, and Leao needed to shine in his practical, which he did. For the first time in 512 days, the star grabbed a Serie A goal at the San Siro against the coach who had last got the most from him."
Rafael Leao responded to recent criticism by scoring a brace for AC Milan, potentially marking a true restart. He returned early to train at Milanello to prove himself to Massimiliano Allegri. The brace included his first Serie A goal at the San Siro in 512 days against a coach who previously maximized his abilities. The performance earned him man of the match recognition and countered doubts after missed chances versus Juventus. External praise, including from Luka Modric, suggests further potential, and the display may indicate readiness to resume a leading role at the club.
