“All the great players are scrutinised. Rafael Leao grew a lot at the Euros, he had a great match against France and I think this game was the one that he’s grown the most,” said Martinez afterwards.
“Today he showed who he is, one of the best players in the world one-on-one and when it comes to exploiting spaces.
“There are not many players in the world who could create that opportunity for the first goal.”
