In Saturday night's Serie A match, AC Milan beat second-placed Lazio 2-0 at home, but the victory came with a painful price - the "new C Lang" Rafael Raphaelio left the field due to an injury, and is expected to miss the match. The first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals against Inter Milan will be played in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Rafael Rio left the field with an injury after only 11 minutes of play, and the Italian media revealed that the 23-year-old Portuguese international is suspected to have pulled a muscle. With reference to the recovery of players with similar injuries in the past, he may need to recuperate for 2 to 4 weeks. If Rafael Llullio also needs such a long rest this time, then he will miss the two rounds of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals, I'm afraid.
After the match, Raffaello posted a message on social media, expressing his stable condition, and gave the fans a piece of mind. The player known as the "new Cron" has contributed 12 goals and 7 assists in Serie A this season, as well as 1 goal and 4 assists in the UEFA Europa League, and his absence will undoubtedly deal a major blow to AC Milan's road to promotion.
In this game, AC Milan's Ismene Binasha and Dionisios Nandis scored a goal each and managed to shut down Lazio. Especially the left back Dio Boots Nandis, who launched the attack from the backfield, his individual performance was as long as a long drive, a powerful shot to break the goal, which can be called the best golden goal of Serie A this season. Faced with the absence of Raffaello, AC Milan manager Pioli can only hope that the French international can take up the heavy responsibility of the left flank.
