"Leao (53 goals plus 40 assists) is the only player with at least 40 goals and 40 assists in the last six Serie A seasons. He has been involved in five goals (four goals + one assist) in the last five Serie A matches. As Calciomercato.com recall, Milan may have dropped two points in Parma and conceded twice to the worst attack in Europe's 'top five' leagues, but Leao took further strides forward in his evolution from an attacking winger to a pure centre-forward."
"He should have another goal contribution too, but Christian Pulisic missed when alone in front of Zion Suzuki. The evolution continues Milan cannot do without Rafael Leao. All of the talk of his abilities, limitations and inconsistencies over the past few years are cast aside by the simple fact that he remains the biggest game-changer in the squad, leading to talk of a renewal."
Rafael Leao has 53 goals and 40 assists, the only player to reach at least 40 goals and 40 assists across the last six Serie A seasons. He has been involved in five goals across his last five Serie A matches. Leao delivered the best performance on the pitch against Parma, showing quality, intensity and attitude while driving the team late in the match. Allegri has been transitioning Leao into a centre-forward to play him closer to goal. Leao has improved his hold-up play, aerial presence and converted his second penalty from two attempts.
