Rafael Leao booed off vs Udinese by AC Milan’s fans
AC Milan were humiliated at home by Udinese, losing 3-0, and after 77 minutes, Rafael Leao was hooked, with supporters jeering his display.
Luca Maninetti captured the moment in which the 25-year-old was booed off the pitch, and the chorus of jeers was deafening.
Leao has been pretty good for Milan this season, who remain well on course to return to the Champions League this season.
The Portuguese international has nine goals and two assists in 24 Serie A matches this term, which means he is joint-eighth for most goals.
However, fans were fuming at such a poor performance in a crucial home match against Udinese and aimed their anger at the winger.
Imagine you are Andrea Berta. Who is your top target for Arsenal in the summer transfer window?
Leao did not cover himself in glory early on in the match, as after a tangle of legs with one of the defenders, a free-kick was given against him, and he proceeded to sarcastically applaud the referee.
The ref did not take kindly to the sarcastic applause and booked the winger for his actions.

Arsenal must take advantage of Leao’s AC Milan situation after the winger was booed off the pitch at the San Siro.
The winger remains one of the most exciting wingers in Europe, and his ability to drive at defenders is exactly what the Gunners are missing.
Berta now needs to use his contacts in Italy to start working on a move to sign a winger who would be more than ideal for the left wing at the Emirates Stadium.
Anthony Gordon is a good player; however, the North London club need someone who will really excite this Arsenal fanbase, and Leao is that player.
