Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, Leao was asked if he can emulate Ronaldo, to which the Portuguese forward replied: 

“Yes, but I'm not selfish. I can score goals but if I can also provide assists, I pass to my team-mate. 

"At these levels, the numbers make the difference because Mbappe, Haaland, and Messi make numbers that speak for themselves. When I think like them, I will get to that level.”

Leao has scored 5 goals in 25 appearances for Milan this season.
