After Portugal defeated Uzbekistan 5-0, Leao, who came off the bench and scored a goal, spoke to the media.
Leao told DAZN: "I have to celebrate with my family because this season has been tough for me. Injuries and many other things have hindered my progress, and it's been the same for Milan this season. I have to thank my family, who have always supported me. This match and this goal are dedicated to them."
When asked about his first reaction after scoring, Leao said: "I thought about all the effort—the work I've put in with my personal trainer and teammates. I also want to thank the coach, who has believed in me, because the Portuguese team has many excellent players, so I'm very happy to be here."
Regarding his outlook going forward, Leao said: "I have to play for myself, but also for my teammates and coach. I'm happy because I helped the team, and getting playing time is important to me as well."
