Adrien Rabiot
MILBox-to-box role for France
Rabiot has been named in France's World Cup squad and is expected to be a key presence in the engine room as coach Didier Deschamps looks to balance creativity and defensive solidity in the middle of the park.
Analysis: Rabiot finishes the season still showcasing his status as one of the most complete box-to-box midfielders in European football, posting six goals, four assists, 60 crosses, and 27 chances created while also delivering strong defensive output with 57 tackles, 21 interceptions, and 41 clearances in 29 appearances (28 starts) for AC Milan following his controversial departure from Marseille earlier in the campaign. The veteran international brings a blend of physical edge, technical quality, and a true winning mentality to France's midfield that very few players can match, and his ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball makes him a key piece in coach Didier Deschamps' system. Rabiot enters the tournament with a slight inside track to start alongside Aurelien Tchouameni in a balanced double pivot behind the front four.
Productive display against Atalanta
Rabiot had four shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created and drew four fouls in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Atalanta.
Analysis: Rabiot was one of the few Milan men who had a quality performance in the loss and was particularly active in the final third, matching his season high in attempts, but he wasn't involved in the two goals. He has recorded at least one tackle in six consecutive fixtures, amassing 16 (seven won), scoring once and adding 10 shots (three on target), four interceptions and five clearances during that stretch. Additionally, this marked his 11th appearance on the trot with one or more crosses, for a total of 25 (six accurate).
Nets game-winner
Rabiot scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Verona.
Analysis: Rabiot's first half strike Sunday proved conclusive as AC Milan earned a narrow 1-0 victory at Verona. In addition to his goal contribution, the midfielder contributed two clearances and one block to the clean sheet effort across his 90-minute shift. Since missing a mid-March fixture due to suspension, Rabiot has started and played the full 90 minutes across four successive Serie A matches.
