A Portuguese winger doing trickery at a young age isn't new to this world. This time it is Rafael Leao making things happen in the Italian league with a club of stature as high as AC Milan.
Leao joined the Italian giants in 2019 from French side Lille but he did not have a great start to life in Milan, as is the case with many players who find it difficult to get hold of new surroundings right from the off. Rafael struggled but he was determined to succeed and be the face of the Milan takeover, a giant of football who has been fallen since a decade now and itself is struggling to find it's ground among the elites.
Since the mid season of 2020/2021, Rafael was seen linking up well with the likes of Hakan and Zlatan to help his side achieve the season's objectives. It resulted in a positive outcome, when a side failing to qualify for the top European competition came runners up to city rivals and Antonio Conte's sizzling Inter, and succeeded in playing Champions League football. It was long overdue for a team of such huge heritage.
Rafael Leao's contribution was fruitful which made him a vital figure and he hasn't stopped. He began the new season on a high and is exceeding expectations, again helping his side reach new and higher heights. An injury free and consistent season is what one can hope and wish for, when it comes to young footballers with a ceiling as high as Rafael Leao's for whom sky is certainly the limit.
