I also hope That the national team will be able to play in Valencia soon.
In the special match in Madrid..

About Rafael Leao…
“He doesn’t have to dedicate himself, he’s a player of the highest level. I hope this will be his first big night here: he was born for these matches and these competitions. Where should I sign for it to be Liao’s night? If it’s his night, it’ll also be Milan’s night.” “.
Morata starts up front for Milan and after a sub-par performance against Monza, all things considered, fans want to see a more visible No. 7 inside the box. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to find the back of the net against his former team.
