Rafael Leao posted a one-word message to his supporters on social media following his goal off the bench in Milan’s 2-0 win over Empoli in Serie A on Saturday: ‘Limitless’.
The Rossoneri star was not included in Sergio Conceicao’s starting line-up for the Empoli match on Saturday, with Alex Jimenez and Yunus Musah the preferred options on the wing.
Still, the Portugal international emerged off the bench at the half-time break, alongside January signing Santiago Gimenez, and half an hour later, both of them were on the scoresheet.
Leao rose highest at the back post to nod home Christian Pulisic’s cross just over 20 minutes after coming on, when the teams were playing at 10 vs. 10 following the red cards for both Fikayo Tomori and Luca Marianucci.

While Leao remains one of the star Rossoneri players, Milan’s attack now includes him, Gimenez, Joao Felix and Christian Pulisic after a productive session in the January transfer window, which has sparked a lot of excitement among supporters and pundits alike.
