After 6 consecutive victories in the derby, Inter fell at the end: Milan won 2-1 thanks to Gabbia’s goal, but if the Nerazzurri had remained in the game until the end, the credit goes without a doubt to Yann Summerthe best on the field for The Sports Gazette: “Leao is annoying when shooting, but he is always there. He also blocks Morata and Rejnders, avoiding the worst. He is the least guilty of the goals”. Half a point less from Sports Courier: “He saved Inter several times in the second half, then he couldn’t do anything about Gabbia’s header.”
Same vote from Allsports: “With a leap that not even the best Tamberi can manage, Leao’s header goes out of the goal. Excellent also on the “chewed” (and deflected) shot by Reijnders and on a diagonal shot full of venom again by Leao”. Also for the Evening Courier deserves a 7 in the report card: “The only one who isn’t surprised by Morata after 5′, he can do little when Pulisic comes to him. In the second half he saves on Leao, twice, and Reijnders when Milan pushes harder. The Swiss safe works, but Milan takes it away”.
I also give a 7 in the report cards TMW: “Morata warms up his gloves right away, he can’t do much on Pulisic. Absolute protagonist in the second half: the one on Leao is not just a save for the photographers, and he repeats himself shortly after on Reijnders. He takes a risk when the ball is stretched out on a clearance, but he is clearly ahead of Abraham’s attempted intervention. In the final, a series of saves: for one night, he is the best on the pitch of his team, even if he surrenders to Gabbia”.
