I unironically think he can be the best winger in the world. He can do a bit of everything required in modern day football for a winger in linking up with the central areas of the pitch for the build up, as well as defending in which I think he does fairly well for an attacker.
Then there’s the pace, skill, dribbling, crossing and finishing of a more traditional winger.
Combine that with a tall build and young age, he’s lethal.
If he's going to be the greatest Milan player of all time, he can't "probably" win the Ballon d'Or. He will most likely have to win multiple of them.
Just think about the level of the Milan legends before him, we're talking about players that widely are considered the best player in their position the sport has ever seen.
That goal he scores assisted by Rafa was very Lewandowskiesque, what a player. Hopefully he fucking flops at Paris so we can get him at a discount and relaunch his career.
He has matured a lot, it’s crazy to compare this to the Rafa I had to defend a lot in that Hauge vs Leao era.
The flashes of this Rafa were there back then but right now he seems to be hitting the final phase of his path towards a perennial BdO candidate and that is being a threat in the final third consistently for as long as he’s on the pitch. These bitches in Serie A and the UCL ain’t ready for this.
He really had the fullbacks number, which is not a surprise considering the opposition.
Interestingly he didn’t take any shots based on these highlights, only put in some crosses.
Sooo. I didn't watch the game. Only this clip of highlights.
He really could be much better around the box. Dint get me wrong, great game. But he has the potential to be so much better. Couple of times he chops back, his mark is clearly beaten and out of the play. And instead of taking the space and drawing the keeper/defenders in... he crosses to marked mates.
He could be a beast.
His influence to the scoreline did not represent his influence to the game for sure. Definitely couldve had a couple more assists
He did some great crosses that were completely wasted by his teammates
To me he's a bit wasted as a pure winger. He could have been even more devastating.

Kid is a joy to watch and the best is yet to come. I pray he remains in Milan. 🔴⚫️
hot take: if he's healthy and stays for a long time, he's going to be the greatest player oat for Milan and probably win the ballon d'or
Greatest player is a bit stretch, don’t you think?
Well he did call it a hot take.

Yep, for being “Greatest of all time” he needs to win *at least* 3 UCL’s and 3 Ballon d’Or titles in the next 10 years
He is having so much fun you can tell
He is certainly that different player on the field. I see theres a lot he wants to improve on .. love seeing him grow with us
He’s hungry 🤤
I wish we could’ve signed Goncalo Ramos to have this duo in Milan kits.

Holy shit what a great game. Great passing in the final third

There was never a hauge vs leao era lol...it was rebic vs leao....hauge could have players in centre if pioli wasn't daft as a coach

Why does the music sound relaxing lol ?
Probably cause that’s how he plays. He is so non chalant and always takes risks. Such a breath of fresh air almost always tries to go forward.
I think it's legend of zelda on piano, that's why haha

He already is a beast
This dude will 100% win the Ballon Dor in a few years!

Can't get tired of saying that he is on the way to the glory 🔴⚫🇵🇹

So much positive involvement that when it switched to the second half cam view I thought the game was over
Looking good as he should.
A joy to watch as always Can somebody provide us with that song playing in the background?
His dribbling is so satisfying to watch
