A devastating impact that is dragging Milan forward, even if today's personal joy leaves a bitter aftertaste. Adrien Rabiot continues to be the decisive factor and the soul of Rúben Amorim's midfield, but his performance in the match against Sassuolo was not enough for the Rossoneri to take the three points: the contest ended 1-1, curbing the Milan team's victory ambitions.

The numbers of the former Juventus midfielder tell however of an absolute top-level start to the season. Across the whole Serie A, only Donyell Malen has done better than him by actively taking part in six goals. Rabiot is chasing a total of five contributions (3 goals and 2 assists), sharing the second step of the podium with the exuberant compatriot Marcus Thuram of Inter.

Between tactical intelligence, timely runs and personality in key moments, the Frenchman is undoubtedly establishing himself as one of the best performers of the whole tournament and a cornerstone of Amorim's project. If Milan wants to regain continuity of results, the path traced by Rabiot's performances remains the most solid certainty on which to build the rest of the season.
