Rafael Leao could not hide his joy following Milan’s 2-1 win over PSG on Tuesday, which he inspired with a stunning acrobatic finish in the first half.
Leao was UEFA’s Man of The Match in Milan’s victory against PSG on Tuesday. It was a crucial win for the Rossoneri who keep qualification hopes alive with five points in four matches.
Leao scored with an overhead kick at minute 12, helping Milan level the score after Milan Skriniar’s opener. It was Milan’s first goal in this season’s edition of the Champions League.
The Portuguese star was exhausted when he was subbed off with less than 10 minutes remaining in the second half, but he ran on the pitch smiling to hug his teammates after the final whistle.
Leao couldn’t be happier with Milan’s victory and told SportMediaset after the game: “We showed everyone what Milan are in our house. I am speechless, so proud of my team, we worked incredibly hard and I am really happy.”
