Tensions boiled over in the AC Milan dressing room following a 1-0 defeat to Lazio, as Rafael Leao reportedly confronted Christian Pulisic over a lack of service, forcing manager Max Allegri to physically separate the two stars.
Rafael Leao’s frustration overshadowed Milan’s loss at the Stadio Olimpico after the winger reacted furiously to being substituted.
The Portugal international reportedly took his anger into the dressing room, targeting Christian Pulisic for failing to pass in key attacking moments.
Allegri downplayed the spat, noting Leao was “a bit annoyed because he had some situations where he could’ve had better service.”
The confrontation highlights a growing crisis for Milan’s attack, with Pulisic yet to score a goal in 2026.
Statistics show the pair have started together only seven times this season, producing just two goals in those fixtures.
With the strike partnership failing to deliver, Allegri faces a significant challenge to restore harmony ahead of a critical run of Serie A fixtures.
