Rafael Leao stole the show as he spearheaded Milan’s progress into the Champions League semi-finals past Napoli, despite star striker Victor Osimhen netting his 26th goal of the campaign.
Osimhen heads Manchester United’s striking shortlist this summer and spoke last month that it would be his “dream” to play in the Premier League as links with him moving to Old Trafford intensified. The Nigerian had netted 25 goals in 30 appearances for the runaway Serie A leaders this campaign but only found the net through a consolation header in the third minute of stoppage time - too little, too late for Luciano Spalletti's side.
Milan advanced through to the last four with Leao making the difference over the two legs. The Portugal international has also been linked with a summer switch to United, while he provided the assist for both Milan goals over the course of this tie – alongside winning a penalty that was spurned by Olivier Giroud, who opened the scoring in the second leg after Leao’s stunning assist.
