"We knew it was going to be a tough match. Fiorentina are going through a tough period, but they have quality players. The coach told us we couldn't give them any space, especially Kean, who's a great striker. That's what we did today, a great team effort, even though the first half was a bit of a strange game. In the end, we got going."
"When he arrived at Milanello, he gave me a hug and told me he wanted to help me. Playing with these players helps you grow, I'm very happy: he'll give me lots of assists to take Milan forward."
"I spent a month and a half injured: I dedicate it to my family and my team-mates, who helped me and kept me in a great mood when I returned. I'm very happy. We have to keep going like this."
Rafael Leao scored twice, including a late penalty, to engineer AC Milan's comeback and restore Milan to the top of Serie A. Milan entered the match hampered by multiple absences: Ardon Jashari, Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, Christopher Nkunku, Pervis Estupinan and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were unavailable. Fiorentina took the lead through Robin Gosens and produced a resilient performance, making the match difficult. Leao credited a collective team effort and the coach's instructions to deny space to Moise Kean. He acknowledged Luka Modric's support and dedicated his goals to his family and teammates after returning from injury.
