AC Milan chief Furlani tribute to star striker Leao after landmark award

AC Milan chief Giorgio Furlani has paid tribute to star striker Rafael Leao.

Furlani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Geoffrey Moncada presented Leao with a '200' AC Milan shirt yesterday after he reached 200 games for the club last weekend.

Furlani said at the presentation: "You talk about Milan and you say that Milan is like a family, you say that the coach is like a father, so I'm like an uncle...

"We are very happy to have you in our family. I recommend to you: continue to inspire many young AC Milan fans."

Leao then responded: "I'm proud, very happy. Here is my family, it's my home. Thanks to everyone. I hope to play another 200 games here."
