Rafael Leão starts in Inter-Milan derby, draws comparisons to Benfica flop | OneFootball

Rafael Leão's Milan defeated Inter 1-0 last Sunday, November 23, in a match valid for the 12th round of Serie A. The Portuguese international was a starter and did not escape the spotlight, once again becoming a topic in the Italian press.

On the day of the match, in an interview with Flashscore, Lucas Biglia, a former teammate of the player trained at Sporting, made a prediction about Leão and his future. Despite being one of the key players in Milan's squad, the player continues to fail to convince critics.

"For me, he can be a player of another level. But the problem is that he himself has to believe he can be, otherwise we might have another case like João Félix. A talent like that not fully exploding by his own decision. He needs to change and stop imposing limits on himself," stated the Argentine international, who is currently part of Anderlecht's technical team.

This comparison arises at a time when, for Lucas Biglia, Félix has still not managed to show all his potential, even after having played for teams like Atlético de Madrid, Chelsea, Milan, and Barcelona. Currently, he is making his mark at Al Nassr, where Cristiano Ronaldo continues to stand out.
