Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud

Portuguese flyer Rafael Leao produced a memorable moment for AC Milan against Napoli in the second leg of their Champions League clash.

The 23-year-old has already put Luciano Spalletti's team through a lot of pain this year, but he saved his best inside the iconic Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Giroud had earlier squandered a penalty but on the second attempt, the Frenchman was never going to miss, all because of his lightning-quick teammate.

Leao's mazy run from his own half was a thing of beauty before setting up the former Arsenal and Chelsea striker with just minutes of the first half left.

Bayern Munich legend Bastian Schweinsteiger tweeted: "Rafael Leão‘s assist for Giroud was one of the best I have seen for a long time!!!! If Leão can prove his qualities more often he will be one of the Top-3 players in the world."

FabrizioRomano posted: "Rafael Leão dancing. Top player, what an assist for Olivier Giroud’s goal."

nealgardner reacted: "Leao is ridiculous. One of the 2/3 best left wingers in world football."

ZachLowy wrote: "Rafael Leão has completely taken the game by the scruff of his neck and has provided a one-man counter-attack for Milan; Khvicha Kvaratshkelia has let the game pass him by and been nullified by Davide Calabria. Night and day so far between two of Serie A’s poster boys."
