Rafael Leão was named Milan’s captain for their Serie A encounter with Verona and led by example.
Stefano Pioli handed the armband to the Portugal international on Saturday despite permanent skipper Simon Kjær starting in defence.
Leão wasted little time in repaying the Rossoneri coach’s faith by opening the scoring early with a superb solo effort that also broke a personal stat.
According to Opta, the 24-year-old has now scored in three consecutive league matches for the first time since 2019 when he enjoyed a four-game streak with Lille.
