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.
Alexandre Pato still has it!

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.
The striker ran around waving his arms crazily before being mobbed by his team-mates.
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.

He played just twice but did score in a 4-0 win over Aston Villa.
Pato has also played for the likes of Villarreal, Orlando City and Chinese Tianjin Quanjian.
He suffered a horrible knee injury at Orlando last September and faced several months out of the game until Sao Paulo offered him a lifeline.
