Costacurta told Sky Italia: "We have seen everything that Leao is, 100%. For me, Leao is this, what we have seen in the last 5 years. He is an important player, he beats the man, but he is not fundamental.
"In my opinion he is not a champion, it depends on the categories we want to do."
Milan coach Paulo Fonseca said of Leao after the win: "It's not a coincidence, it shouldn't be a coincidence because a player is on the bench. It must be normal, there is no conflict between me and him. Only a choice of the coach.
"For me he is the same as (Ruben) Loftus-Cheek or other players, status doesn't matter."
