"Mike Maignan and Rafael Leao are two sides of the same coin for AC Milan after their victory over Roma. Speaking to Dazn, they are the absolute leaders of this team, and they know full well that there's still a long way to go, but that with the entire squad available, they can focus on big things. Last night, they contributed, along with Pavlovic, to the three points that lifted AC Milan into second place in the table, tied with Inter."
"The French goalkeeper made a superb save from Dybala's penalty, while Rafa rewarded Pavlovic's run, running 90 meters to score the winner. Raffaellino also missed a couple of goals, but he wasn't at his best; he also took a painful knock to his hip and finished the match stoically in defence."
AC Milan face contrasting futures for Mike Maignan and Rafael Leao, with Maignan likely to leave at the end of his contract while Leao becomes a priority for renewal. The club previously hesitated over Maignan around Euro 2024 and now seeks to avoid a repeat by initiating talks with Leao despite his contract running until 2028. Both players are viewed as leaders who influenced the win over Roma, with Maignan saving a penalty and Leao scoring after a long run. Leao suffered a hip knock but finished the match; negotiations could open soon to secure his long-term future while Maignan’s status remains unresolved.
