Rafael Leão returns to the starting line-up against Real Madrid

The Portuguese international has been used as a substitute in Serie A, but the outlook changes in the Champions League

For the third time in Milan ‘s last four games , Paulo Fonseca left Rafael Leão on the bench and brought him on during the second half, this time in the visit to Monza , once again replacing Okafor , who won the Portuguese international’s starting spot.

However, the 51-year-old coach confirmed that there is no problem with the former Sporting player and that he is “ready for Real Madrid “, the Champions League match to be played on Tuesday at the Bernabéu, thus hinting that he would return to the starting eleven.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport , the 25-year-old winger will indeed be a starter again, similar to what happened against Club Brugge , at San Siro and for the millionaire league.
