MN: Derby performance reinforces the fact that Rabiot is ‘irreplaceable’ for Milan

Few players in football are irreplaceable, but Adrien Rabiot is there abouts for AC Milan. The midfielder is central to everything, quite literally. 

Without Rabiot in recent weeks, Milan have experienced a small drop-off. They have remained unbeaten, but they have not collected wins like would be hoped from them. Ultimately, it proved the link between Rabiot and the Rossoneri resurgence.

Rabiot’s impact

Since the Frenchman signed, the club have not lost a game. That is the influence which he brings, and whilst he spent a period sidelined with injury, the former Juventus man has been instrumental to results and performances.

The stats go deeper than this, though; the Diavolo have only dropped two points (the Juventus game) when the midfielder has featured. A simply fantastic record, which leads to MilanNews stating that he is ‘irreplaceable’ for Massimiliano Allegri.

His campaigning in the summer eventually paid off, and after a month off – thanks to his calf injury, suffered during international duty – Rabiot returned like he never left. In duels, his record was fantastic, and he was key to the goal scored by Milan as well.

Few players are undroppable, but when so much hinges on Rabiot, it is impossible to suggest otherwise.
