In the 2025 Italian Super Cup final, AC Milan made a remarkable comeback from a 0:2 deficit to defeat Inter Milan 3:2 and claim the title.
The new AC Milan coach, Conceicao, has proven his worth by leading the team to consecutive victories against Juventus and Inter Milan. This demonstrates that the players at AC Milan are of high caliber, and it's clear that Fonseca should have been replaced long ago, perhaps he never should have taken the job at Milan in the first place.
It's absurd to bench world-class left-back Theo and former Serie A MVP Leo, known as the "Portuguese Mbappe," with a value of 75 million euros, the highest in the current AC Milan squad. Under Pioli, Leo was an absolute starter for AC Milan. This season, although Fonseca didn't dare to unjustly bench Leo, the Portuguese winger's form has dipped somewhat, and he has also suffered injuries. However, it's certain that Fonseca hasn't utilized Leo effectively.
Trailing 0:2, AC Milan staged a stunning comeback with three consecutive goals. Theo, who scored and assisted in equalizing the game, played a pivotal role, and Leo, who came off the bench in the 50th minute, also contributed significantly, providing the assist for Abraham's decisive goal.
In Conceicao's view, his young compatriot still has significant room for improvement. "Leo has the potential to become the best player in the world. He possesses all the necessary qualities; he just needs to understand the two or three things he must do on the field, and he can become incredibly strong."
