"Matteo Gabbia has undergone a few years of apprenticeship, and has emerged out of the other side as a leader of his boyhood club. La Gazzetta dello Sport speak of Gabbia as being 'Luka Modric's spiritual assistant, 14 years younger'. He plays behind the croatian, holds an Italian passport in a dressing room where 77 percent of his teammates are foreign nationals, and is taking charge of his beloved Milan."
"Along with Bartesaghi and Torriani, Gabbia is one of the few 'sons of Vismara', i.e. products of the youth academy at Milan who end up graduating to the senior squad. He arrived there with a sense of pride and also responsibility, to defend the colours he grew up cherishing. Mentality One of the most iconic images of Gabbia is next to Rafael Leao after the Portuguese's second goal against Fiorentina. The winger is wild with joy"

He is described as a younger spiritual assistant to Luka Modric, operating behind the Croatian midfielder. He holds an Italian passport in a dressing room where 77 percent of teammates are foreign and is taking charge of Milan. He is a product of the Vismara youth academy and embraced pride and responsibility in defending the club's colours. He displays notable mentality, intervening to stop Rafael Leao from receiving a yellow card after a goal. He demonstrated balance during a difficult season by representing the club in media duties. This season he anchors a defence that conceded seven goals in 12 games.
