**Leonardo Scores for AC Milan, Breaking Team’s Goal Drought**

In a thrilling display of skill and determination, AC Milan goalkeeper Leonardo Bonucci made history on Sunday when he scored his first league goal in over two years.

The 29-year-old Italian international, who has been a key player for the club since joining from Fiorentina in 2018, had not found the back of the net in any of his previous appearances for AC Milan this season. The team had been struggling to find a scoring partner after the departure of former striker Diego Costa in January.

However, Leonardo did not let his teammates down. He rose above the defenders and controlled the ball with precision before unleashing a powerful strike that beat the Milan goalkeeper and secured a crucial win for the Serie A champions against Sampdoria.

The victory was significant not only for AC Milan but also for Leonardo himself. His return to form has lifted morale across the club and provided hope for a brighter future ahead. The manager, Saurer, praised Leonardo’s performance, saying: "He showed great composure and technical ability. This is exactly what we needed."

This goal came just days after Leonardo had been criticized for missing out on several opportunities to score during a match against Inter Milan. However, the Italian felt that his focus had shifted to helping the team rather than focusing solely on individual goals.

AC Milan will now look forward to continuing their impressive run in Serie A. With Leonardo back in action, they can expect even more exciting performances from the attacking side of the pitch. The rest of the league remains closely contested, so AC Milan will need to maintain their high standards if they want to retain their title defense.

Leonardo’s breakthrough goal sets a positive tone for the remainder of the season and shows that AC Milan still has the potential to challenge for the championship. As the team looks ahead to the next few matches, fans and players alike are hopeful that they will continue to perform at their best and secure another successful season under Saurer’s leadership.
