At Euro 2024, AC Milan have several representatives, and whilst some have shone, others have faced speculation. However, this has been the case for the majority of the leading teams in the tournament.
The European Championship has been intriguing for several reasons so far. Many of the teams who have been expected to dominate have been questionable at times, and whilst the favourites are progressing, there have been doubts about several stars.
Perhaps the biggest one so far has been regarding Rafael Leao’s performance over the tournament. He is tasked with leading the Rossoneri, being the face of the project, and he is the next face of the Selecao. However, he contributed nothing, again, last night as his side were eliminated by France, who themselves weren’t great.
Mike Maignan has received heaps of praise for his performance, most notably from Kylian Mbappe, but the same cannot be said for Theo Hernandez after last night’s performance.
Instead, he played a strange game by his standards, and even though he was decisive, his performance was very divisive, as reported by several papers and compiled by Radio Rossonera. His penalty was the reason France went through, but he was not the reason.
Whilst he did not do anything wrong, he didn’t do anything majorly right, and he received an average rating of 7, not awful, but perhaps not at the standard that Milan and France have come to expect from the defender.
