Former wonderkid and Chelsea flop does absolutely bonkers celebration after scoring for new club at 33


FORMER AC Milan wonderkid Alexandre Pato marked his first goal back at Sao Paulo with a wild celebration.

The striker was once one of the most highly-rated youngsters in Europe.

But, aged 33, he is now back in his native Brazil, rolling back the years at Sao Paulo.

In his second game for the club since re-joining for a second time, following a loan spell between 2014-15 and a permanent stint in 2019, Pato proved class is permanent by scoring in a 4-1 win over Santos.

Pato played a brilliant one-two with David before slotting the ball past the goalkeeper.

He then celebrated by bizarrely taking the head off the duck mascot and placing it over his own head.

Pato scored 63 goals in 150 games for Milan and won the Serie A title in 2011.

He then moved back to Brazil with Corinthians in 2013 and spent three seasons in South America, including two years on loan at Sao Paulo.

Chelsea then offered him a lifeline with a loan spell in 2016, but he flopped sensationally.
