How is Rafa Leao after his outing with Rennes, the latest on Monza-Milan

A beautiful goal in collaboration with Theo Hernandez with which perhaps it forms the strongest left-wing binary in the world, then after a few minutes Rafael Leao was replaced (in the 62nd for Okafor). A bit of apprehension among the San Siro crowd present at Milan-Rennes (3-0 double by a super Loftus-Cheek) due to the calf pain complained of by the Rossoneri number 10. Reassuring is the fact that the Portuguese champion came out calmly and then remained on the bench until the end of the match. But in such a hot phase of the season, with 3 games a week, even a slight stop can become a problem.

Rafa Leao, however, seems to reassure Milan fans: “I only took a hit, everything is fine”he told Sky Sport in view of the match on Sunday evening (8.45 pm) on the pitch Monza by Adriano Galliani.

Milan-Rennes, Leao: “I missed the goal, with Theo I play with my eyes closed”

'I missed the goal. Milan, we can reach the top”, also explained the Rossoneri champion who scored a month after his last goal (scored in the Italian Cup against Atalanta). “I missed the goal but I was doing well anyway, I made assists and I was happy for the team. My teammates and fans have always helped and supported me when it wasn't a good moment for me, we are a family. Do I still think about the championship? We miss a lot of games, it's difficult but not impossible. We must always play concentrated, we are strong and we are doing well.” Then, on his understanding with Theo Hernandez: “He makes my game easy, we understand each other very well: when he gives me the ball I already know that he is starting and when he starts from behind no one stops him. It's very easy to play with players like him or Giroud, we can play with our eyes closed.”

Inter are on the run, but Rafa and Milan haven't given up yet… “There are still many games to go. The championship is difficult but not impossible. We must always be concentrated from the first to the last minute, because we are strong and we are doing well. We beat a strong opponent, we can reach the top.”
