Rafael Leão feels the pressure, deactivates Instagram after fans react | OneFootball

Rafael Leão, a Portugal international, deactivated his Instagram profile after being booed by Milan fans for the second consecutive home game at San Siro. The player’s account on the social media platform, where he is very active and posts regularly—many of them interacting with fans of the club he represents—is currently inactive, although his Twitter profile remains active.

The forward is going through a difficult period and has become the main target of criticism from Milan supporters. This backlash intensified following a below-par performance by the Portuguese player against Juventus and a goal drought that has lasted since 1 March, when he scored away at Cremonese.

Leão has scored a total of 10 goals this season, nine of them in the league. However, his adaptation to the centre-forward role has not gone particularly well. The team’s dip in form in the second half of the season, which saw them fall out of the title race, has increased the pressure, and there has been no shortage of criticism aimed at the former Sporting player. Moreover, the Italian press reports that the player will be put on the market and is expected to say goodbye to the Italian side.

With 34 Serie A matchdays played, Milan sit in third place with 67 points, behind Napoli with 69 points and Inter, the other major club in the city of Milan, who are well clear at the top with 79 points.
