Rafael Leao bids farewell to his best teammate at AC Milan

Rafael Leao bids farewell to his teammate Theo Hernandez — ending their historic collaboration era at AC Milan.

Both players joined Rossoneri in summer 2019 as part of Paolo Maldini’s recruitment era — developing into crucial pillars in the squad that won Serie A in the 2021-2022 season.

The left-wing duo nicknamed “Theao” has created terror for opposing defenses, with a total of 224 appearances together — making them the most frequent collaborating teammates for each other.

However, their popularity declined after the coaching change, with a less harmonious relationship with new coach Paulo Fonseca — marking the end of a partnership that has provided many memories for Milan supporters.
