Alexandre

Pato

When Alexandre Pato joined AC Milan in the summer of 2007 he was only 17 years old, but he had already won a Club World Cup, scoring a goal in the semi-final that earned him the record of the youngest scorer in FIFA competitions. Signed from Internacional de Porto Alegre, his hometown team, he made his AC Milan debut in January 2008: an amazing show of sprints, increasing speed and a plethora of goals soon made him a fan favourite. Among his most memorable moments were the Scudetto winning brace against Inter, the brace scored at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid, and his goal at the Camp Nou against Guardiola’s Barcelona in 2011.
