Overview
- Multiple outlets report Allegri confronted Leão in the Allianz Stadium dressing room after the 0-0 draw, telling him the attitude shown in Turin was unacceptable.
- DAZN cameras also caught Allegri’s touchline outbursts toward Leão, including instructions to track back and a post-match vow that no one would speak in the locker room.
- Leão missed two late chances — a left-footed effort inside the area and a one-on-one with Di Gregorio from a Modrić pass — which fueled the coach’s frustration.
- The coach’s message was to raise intensity and commitment or risk losing his spot, with Santiago Giménez and Christopher Nkunku seen as direct rivals in the single attacking berth alongside Pulisic.
- Coverage notes Leão’s recent calf layoff and long-running inconsistency, frames Allegri’s tough-love approach as potentially developmental, and adds that Leão is with Portugal as Milan await his response; teammate Adrien Rabiot publicly urged him to fulfill his potential at 26.
