Watch as Rafael Leao finally ends his goal drought for Milan with a classic combination down the left flank with Theo Hernandez against Rennes.

The Portugal international had not found the back of the net in all competition since the Coppa Italia quarter-final defeat to Atalanta on January 10.

His only previous European goal this season was in the 2-1 Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain on November 7.

Leao got back on the scoresheet during this evening’s Europa League play-off first leg tie with Stade Rennais at San Siro.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek had already bagged a brace of headers to put the Rossoneri 2-0 up before this well-worked combination between Leao and Theo Hernandez.

Pure class from Rafael Leao! 🤩
