The 3-3 draw against Genoa was certainly not Rafael Leao’s best match for AC Milan and he left the field to some jeers.
The Portuguese winger left the field in the 67th minute, when Stefano Pioli preferred to replace him with Noah Okafor. Leao, after the substitution, didn’t even sit on the bench and went straight into the tunnel to the changing room.
Now, he has posted a photo of him kissing a ball with the caption: “Thank you for existing, there are people who don’t know the meaning… Much more than passion it’s a religion!!” ️
It is not certain whether it is a reference to the fans who booed him as he left the pitch or to the ultras of the Curva Sud who decided to leave the stadium in the 80th minute. It might also just be a generic expression of love for the game.
