Milan vs Kiev! Pato's debut, Sheva against his old club!

Milan will play Dinamo Kiev later today in a friendly match to celebrate Kiev's 80th Birthday. This game will see Pato wear the rossoneri shirt for the first and he will be wearing the famous number 7 shirt of Milan.

Pato won't be the only one who will be grabbing the headlines as Shevchenko will be facing his old team for the first time after his controversial move to Chelsea last summer, after 7 years of wearing the rossoneri shirt.

hmm, is there something in that number 7? Shevchenko wore the number 7 shirt for 7 years at Milan and now it has been passed onto Alexandre Pato, who just recently turned 18. It should be quite an interesting encounter between the two as they will be stepping out onto the field as rivals. Who knows how Sheva will handle the youngsters presence in his previous shirt.

Due to the international break Milan will field a weak team as 11 of their players have left for International duty while, Ronaldo, Dida and Serginho will not take part in the game, the latter two for reasons unknown while Ronaldo is in Belgium having medical tests done.

It's bound to be a fun game, as even retired veteran Leonardo will take part in the game, and Milan will be hosting plenty promising primavera players too.
The Squad:
PORTIERI: Fiori, Kalac;
DIFENSORI: Bonera, Cafu, Digao, Favalli, Nesta;
CENTROCAMPISTI: Brocchi, Emerson, Ancelotti (39), Aubameyang P. (53), Furlan (42), Rampinini (40);
ATTACCANTI: Aubameyang W., Gilardino, Pato (7), Caraglia (38), Cosner (41).
