AC Milan winger Rafael Leao was in better spirits compared to Sunday’s game against Genoa as he met fans this afternoon at Casa Milan.

Upon his arrival Leao was greeted by a red and black surfboard, created specifically to present the new capsule collection ‘ACM x RL10’. After posing with it, he then sat down to speak with a line of supporters.

Fans met the Portuguese winger and asked him for autographs, selfies and even hugs. Leao got emotional hearing the comments of the children, who introduced themselves by calling him an idol, as per La Gazzetta dello Sport.

He also smiled when some older fans appear in front of him, who called him a good boy and are satisfied with a pat on the shoulder. Between one picture and another, Rafa even received gifts like pistachios and a sweatshirt with the logo of a fishing shop on it.

A father put a shirt with the Scudetto shield on it from last season, pointing to it and whispering something in Leao’s ear. “Let’s hope,” he replied. Who knows, maybe he asked him to bring Milan back to the top.
