  WHAT HAPPENED?

  A disappointing Milan side slumped to a first leg Europa League last eight defeat on Thursday, with Gianluca Mancini scoring the game's only goal in the 17th minute. After the contest, where Leao was subbed off in the second half, the 24-year-old turned his ire towards a reporter in the mixed zone.

  It is understood the journalist in question said: "Here's Leao leaving [the stadium]," and then moments later, the former Lille and Sporting Lisbon man reportedly asked, "What the f*** do you want?"

  There were boos heard around San Siro when Leao was subbed during the game, though a portion of the crowd did chant his name following his withdrawal.
