Despite facing criticism this season, Rafael Leao has received praise from football legend Ronaldinho, who called the AC Milan winger one of his favorite players to watch.
Rafael Leao has been under pressure this season, facing criticism over his form and consistency. But one iconic figure still believes in him—Ronaldinho.
The AC Milan forward has recorded 10 goals and 9 assists in all competitions, yet fans and media have questioned whether he’s giving enough on the pitch, especially during Milan’s struggles in Serie A.
During a recent visit to Milan for business purposes, Ronaldinho offered public support to the Portuguese winger, calling him a joy to watch.
"Rafael Leao does not need my advice because he is a great player. He is one of the players I like to watch," said the former Ballon d’Or winner, who once starred for both Barcelona and AC Milan.

Leao joined Milan in 2019 from Lille and has now spent six years at the club. He began his professional career at Sporting Lisbon, and despite recent ups and downs, still has the support of legends.
