Paulo Fonseca felt that Alvaro Morata was insufficient for AC Milan against Bayer Leverkusen in yesterday’s 1-0 Champions League matchday 2; this was revealed by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning’s print edition. But in thirty minutes, the Spaniard made a greater impression than other colleagues did in ninety minutes. Rafael Leao is actually more proactive, although he nearly always runs into the opposition defense. Nevertheless, he never made the best decision in the end. Theo didn’t play well either; it wasn’t his best match while wearing the Rossoneri uniform. In the first half, Christian Pulisic was the only one to make an effort, while Tammy Abraham battled up front but was left on her own.
Milan took 17 shots without scoring, and they lost. The same happened (a defeat) against Borussia Dortmund in 2023.
