The 21-year-old scored the quickest goal in Serie A history against Sassuolo on Sunday.
Just moments after kick-off, he received a pass from team-mate Hakan Calhanoglu.
Leao took two touches then effortlessly slotted the ball into the back of the net.
The official time of the goal has went down as 6.2 seconds.
He smashed the previous league record of 8.9 seconds – which was set in 2001 by Paolo Poggi.
Shane Long still holds the record for the fastest Premier League goal at 7.69 seconds.
Unsurprisingly, a clip of Leao’s goal went viral on social media.
One fan said: “Fastest goal I’ve ever seen or heard about.”

And one claimed: “Blimey, that’s one way to start a game.”
Leao got AC Milan off to the perfect start during the crunch clash against Sassuolo.
Alexis Saelemaekers then doubled his side’s tally to give them a 2-0 lead in the first-half.
Milan are perched at the top of the Serie A table, but Inter Milan are hot on their tail.
