‘It wasn’t supposed to end like this’ – Leao posts Milan farewell message to Theo

By: Ben Dixon

AC Milan defender Theo Hernandez will leave the club this summer. With an expiring contract and a broken relationship, it was in the interest of all parties.

We can sit and remember the good of Theo, the Scudetto in particular. However, turning a blind eye to what has followed is difficult. In fact, the past two years have been filled with sub-par performances and the occasional highlight.

Despite this all, though, many will still remember the Frenchman in a positive light, and doing that would align you with Rafael Leao.

The end of Theao

In that Scudetto season, and past then, Leao and Theo were special. Seperate, together, whatever. They were fantastic and made huge differences to Milan’s positions. When they were good, they were special. Unfortunately, that has not been seen as much in the past 12 months, but their connection, as you’d expect, remains strong.

Yesterday, the winger posted his own farewell message on social media, with Theo’s exit all but confirmed, and MilanNews relays his words.

“My brother, my companion in many battles, together we have lived many beautiful and difficult moments, but it was a pleasure to be able to share the locker room and the pitch with you, my brother.

“I wish you all the luck in the world in this new phase. I will miss you so much, because over the years you have become an important person to me. It wasn’t supposed to end this way, but life is full of challenges. Good luck on this new journey, as always I will be rooting for you and for us!”

“THEAO!”
