AC Milan’s Rafael Leao has spoken out following his team’s dramatic 3-3 draw against Cagliari in Serie A. The Portuguese forward, who scored a brace in the match, took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the game and his performance.
In a thrilling encounter at the Unipol Domus, Milan twice took the lead through Leao’s efforts, only to be pegged back by a resilient Cagliari side. The match also marked the first Serie A start for Milan’s 16-year-old prodigy Francesco Camarda.
Cagliari opened the scoring in the first minute through Zortea, but Leao’s double between the 15th and 40th minutes put Milan in front. The second half saw Zappa equalize for Cagliari, capitalizing on a mistake by Fofana. Tammy Abraham, who replaced Camarda, briefly restored Milan’s lead, only for Zappa to score his second with a stunning volley in the 89th minute, securing a 3-3 draw.
Despite the disappointment of dropping two points, Leao’s performance was a bright spot for Milan. The forward’s Instagram post after the game read: “Ups and downs, but I know what I’m doing!” This statement reflects both the rollercoaster nature of the match and Leao’s confidence in his abilities, even in the face of a challenging result.
The draw represents a setback for Paulo Fonseca’s Milan, who will be frustrated at not securing all three points despite Leao’s heroics. As the team continues to navigate a competitive Serie A season, they will look to their Portuguese star to maintain his form and help drive them forward in their pursuit of success.
