    A disappointing Milan side slumped to a first leg Europa League last eight defeat on Thursday, with Gianluca Mancini scoring the game's only goal in the 17th minute.

    The Portuguese international can be seen somewhat losing his cool during the interaction with the journalist following the Roma defeat at San Siro.

  • WHAT RAFAEL LEAO

    It is understood the journalist in question said: "Here's Leao leaving [the stadium]," and then moments later, the former Lille and Sporting Lisbon man reportedly asked, "What the f*** do you want?"

    There were boos heard around San Siro when Leao was subbed during the game, though a portion of the crowd did chant his name following his withdrawal.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Milan are one of the favourites to win this competition, with the Rossoneri dropping down from the Champions League earlier this season, but now they face an uphill task to overhaul this 1-0 deficit, win at Stadio Olimpico and keep their Europa League hopes alive.

  • WHAT NEXT?

    Leao's Milan side, who are second in Serie A behind runaway leaders Inter, return to league action on Sunday when they travel to Sassuolo, before facing Roma in the second leg of their quarter-final Europa League next Thursday.
