"MilanNews speak of '513 days of waiting' for the Milanisti to be able to see a smile from Leao after a Serie A goal at San Siro. He was 'the undisputed star' of Milan's comeback victory, with a brace that felt like both a personal liberation and a collective push towards the top of Serie A. A long drought - too long for a player like him - was broken perhaps at the most crucial moment,"
"After the match, Leao dedicated this brace to his family and team-mates, stating in an interview with DAZN: "I dedicate this brace to my family and my teammates. They've always been there for me, even in difficult times. Today is a great joy, but I want to continue like this: Milan comes first." A sincere dedication, which speaks to the maturity of a player who was often (and still is) criticised for being too much himself."
AC Milan came from behind to beat Fiorentina 2-1, with Rafael Leao scoring a decisive brace. Leao's goals ended a 513-day wait for a Serie A home goal at San Siro and provided a crucial turnaround in the second half. Robin Gosens had put Fiorentina ahead before Leao produced individual brilliance to equalise and later score the winner. The crowd gave Leao a standing ovation and he dedicated the brace to his family and teammates. The performance reinforced Leao's importance to Milan amid squad absences and pushed the club to the top of the table.
