'Rafael Leao has no idea how good he is' - Tammy Abraham awestruck by AC Milan team-mate after Champions League masterclass

<p>Tammy Abraham was full of praise for his AC Milan team-mate Rafael Leao following his exploits in the team's nervy 3-2 win over Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. Leao came on as a substitute and scored the goal that put the Rossoneri ahead in the game.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Leao had a sensational 45 minutes against Slovan Bratislava, coming on at half-time for Noah Okafor and scoring the goal that gave them a 2-1 lead in the 68th minute. Shortly after Leao's goal, Abraham made it 3-1 to give AC Milan some breathing space in their eventual 3-2 win. </p><p>It was a performance that will surely boost the Portuguese winger's confidence, given that he has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/trouble-brewing-at-milan-paulo-fonseca-opens-up-difficult-rafael-leao-relationship-loss-napoli/blted7e12e48fed26c3" target="_self">found himself falling in the pecking order lately under coach Paulo Fonseca</a>. Abraham, though, believes that Leao has no idea how impactful and effective he can be for Milan.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Abraham spoke to Sky Sport following the game and heaped praise on Leao. “Leao is a very important player for us," Abraham claimed (h/t <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-abraham-leao-puo-vincere-le-partite-da-solo-nella-giornata-giusta-e-inarrestabile-44430" target="_self">Calciomercato</a>). "I don’t think he knows how good he is. He can win games on his own, on his day he is unstoppable. We have to fill him with confidence and bring him on our path.”</p>

WHAT TAMMY ABRAHAM SAID

<p>Over the past few months, Leao's future at AC Milan has become increasingly uncertain, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ac-milan-deliberating--future-time-bomb-rafael-leao-rift-with-paulo-fonseca-barcelona-interest/blte1e4694347f94b45#cs82ce485d9bcc778d" target="_self">reports emerging of the rift between the player and Fonseca widening</a>. Therefore, the club is contemplating Leao's future at the club amid strong interest from Barcelona. </p><p>Leao will hope to build on his performance in the Champions League in Milan's upcoming game, in which they welcome Empoli at the San Siro on Saturday, November 30.</p>
