The Portuguese was unable to score for his team as Chelsea triumphed over the Rossoneri on Wednesday night. AC Milan was defeated 3-0 at Stamford Bridge by Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Fofana, and Reece James.
Being the inferior team, the Italians rarely got the ball into the box for Giroud to score, and Leao was unable to have any effect.
Leao expressed his displeasure after the loss at being paired up against a talented Chelsea player who made sure he couldn’t pose a danger.

Reece James, who plays on the right flank, was given the specific assignment of limiting the number of balls Leao was carrying, which dealt the Italians a devastating blow.
Leao, 23, admitted he couldn’t be a threat because James was all over him, suggesting that James had impressed him in addition to frustrating him. James also had a goal to his name.
James is a good player; he was all over me and everywhere at once, and he timed his runs perfectly, according to Leao.
“I hardly ever discuss rival players, but this one is probably the hardest I’ve faced.
“He also scored a goal against us, which is something not every defender can achieve.
We simply need to concentrate and finish strong because the competition was never anticipated to be simple.
We stumbled last night, but we won’t let it stop us from trying harder in the upcoming games.
