“Rafael Leão Named UEFA Man of the Match in AC Milan’s Quarter-Final Victory”

The UEFA Technical Observers panel that observed the meeting between Napoli and Milan, in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, were totally surrendered to the performance of Rafael Leão at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, using the name that serves as inspiration for the stadium to describe the brilliant play of the luso international in the goal of the rossoneri. “He was sublime in attack. He won a penalty and made a Maradonian assist for the first goal, in the perfect stadium. Napoli couldn’t handle him and Milan used his talent and current form to reach the semi-finals”, you can read in the note shared on the official UEFA website a few minutes after the end of the match in Naples.
