Leao didn't exactly have the best evening, named as the flop by most newspapers, with basically nothing going his way. He struggled with his positioning as a centre-forward and when he was moved to left-wing, the end product just wasn't there.
Conte stated, 'It leaves us with a lot of enthusiasm and confidence... if we're up there in second place, we have to thank the players who filled in for this year's many absences.' He emphasized the extraordinary achievements of the team during challenging times.

As Newcastle prepared for the game against Barcelona, which ended 1-1 after two late goals, journalists and media were present at the training ground to watch the English side. This is standard for Champions League, i.e. the media being invited to a training session.
The Ecuadorian was billed as a replacement for Theo Hernandez when he joined Milan from Brighton last summer, lumbered with unreasonable comparison from the start. Hernandez, at his best, was one of the most effective attacking full-backs on the planet. Estupinan, at 28, is yet to put himself in that conversation, but the hope was that he could offer some of the same directness and ability to get up and down the left flank.
Jens Petter Hauge never really hit the levels that AC Milan hoped for, but the Norwegian winger still keeps the club close to his heart.

Of course, the initial hopes were that he would be a key figure for the Rossoneri for years to come, but his 18 appearances in Serie A summarise how far that unfortunately went.
