In the post on Instagram Rafa wanted to retrace the key moments lived with Theo with a lot of description in Portuguese: “My brother, companion of many battles, we spent many good and bad moments but it was a pleasure. I wish you all the luck in the world”. The post was then concluded with a phrase with a cryptic tone: “It shouldn’t have ended like this but life is made of challenges. I wish you the best”. The “alliance” between the two begins under the Pioli management and is increasingly consolidated in the year of the return to the Champions League. The culmination in 2021/22, the year of the last Rossoneri tricolor, with the penultimate of the championship won 2-0 by the Rossoneri: first Rafa, then the restart from the mid-field of Hernandez. The last “ring” of one of the most devastating bands of recent times in Italy dates back to January 6th. The entrance of the Leao in the Super Cup final against Inter changes the scenarios and makes the French companion “wake up”, author of the Momentanian 1-2 network. From there the comeback and the trophy won against the cousins. It will be the last Milan Cup and the Franco-Portuguese couple; Now the full -back will be welcomed by Simone Inzaghi and will have the task of plowing the left lane in Arabia.
