An injury to Pato took the gloss off AC Milan's 3-1 victory over Atalanta with the Brazilian striker now facing an anxious race against time to be fit for the Champions League return leg against Manchester United.

Pato scores the first of his two goals but a thigh injury took the gloss off Milan's win over Atalanta

The forward produced a neat turn and finish on the half hour before converting Ronaldinho's pass 11 minutes later. Jaime Valdes netted for the visitors after the interval but Marco Borriello was quick to restore Milan's two-goal advantage after Ronaldinho's penalty was saved.

"We will have to wait 24 to 48 hours before knowing the extent of the injury,'' said Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani after the game. Milan must overturn a 3-2 deficit if they are to progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

"Not to have Pato would be terrible,'' said Galliani. "We don't have anyone who can replace him. Without him, we would need to change our tactical set-up.''

Alexandre Pato struck deep in stoppage time as AC Milan came from behind to snatch victory at Fiorentina on Wednesday.

The outcome has lifted the Rossoneri above Roma into second in Serie A and reduced the gap with league leaders Inter Milan to four points.

Former AC Milan striker Alberto Gilardino opened the scoring in the 14th minute before Klass Jan Huntelaar came off the bench to restore parity with nine minutes remaining.

AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati kept his team in the game with two great saves before Pato silenced the fans at the Artemio Franchi stadium seconds from time.

England midfielder David Beckham dropped to the bench for the second league game in a row as Leonardo opted to field the same starting XI that won 2-0 at Bari on Sunday.

The visitors struggled in the opening half but showed plenty of determination to turn around the result in the last ten minutes of the game.

The Rossoneri should have broken the deadlock early on but Andrea Pirlo's goal-bound strike was deflected by Riccardo Montolivo for a corner. At the other end, Gilardino latched onto Juan Vargas' cross but his central header did not trouble Abbiati.

The hosts broke the deadlock shortly after as Milan's defence failed to clear Stevan Jovetic's pass towards the area, leaving Gilardino with an easy tap-in.

The visitors reacted and Frey was forced to punch away Ronaldinho's curled free-kick. Midway through the first half, though, Montolivo's right-footed strike from 25 yards forced Abbiati to fully stretch to clear.

Leonardo was forced to make his first substitution with Mathieu Flamini replacing injured captain Massimo Ambrosini.

Flamini almost levelled the scores before the break with his right-footed strike from the edge of the area going inches wide of the far post.

Milan picked up where they left off after the re-start and Pato almost scored shortly after. The Brazilian surged inside the area before firing just wide of the far post.

At the other end, Vargas' bullet strike from the distance was met by a fine save from Abbiati.

With 15 minutes remaining, Leonardo brought in Huntelaar in place of Gattuso and it proved to be the right move because the substitute equalised five minutes later as Huntelaar played a one-two with Ronaldinho before firing from the heart of the area past Frey.

Milan's joy could have shortlived had Abbiati not made an acrobatic clearance to palm over the bar Vargas' stinging drive from 25 yards.

The visitors continued to push forward and their efforts were rewarded with seconds remaining when Ronaldinho's cross found Pato inside the area and his right-footed strike towards the centre of the goal beat Frey .

Milan host Atalanta on Sunday while Fiorentina travel to Rome on Saturday to take on Lazio.

Barii 0 Milan 2 , Rossoneri cut gap on Inter


Bari: Gillet; Belmonte, A Masiello, Bonucci, S Masiello, Alvarez, Gazzi, Donati, Rivas (Almiron 61') Meggiorini (Sforzini 34'), Barreto

Milan: Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Bonera (Jankulovski 68'), Gattuso (Beckham 81'), Pirlo, Ambrosini, , Ronaldinho, Pato, Borriello (Inzaghi 72')


Marco Borriello fired AC Milan to a comfortable win at Bari to see the Rossoneri close the gap on league leaders Inter to seven points.

The striker returned to action after missing two games through injury and opened the scoring before half-time.

Alexandre Pato doubled his team's lead in the 69th minute but then conceded a penalty with two minutes remaining after bringing down Salvatore Masiello.

Bari failed to capitalise as Paulo Barreto's spot-kick was met by a fine save from Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati.

The win was Milan's first on the road since January 10 and left them third in the standings, two points behind second-place Roma with a game in hand.

Roma had earlier prevailed 1-0 over Catania while Inter were held to a goalless draw by Sampdoria yesterday.

Milan went into the encounter looking to bounce back from their 3-2 home reverse to Manchester United in the first leg of their Champions League tie on Tuesday.

The hosts had hoped to avoid their third-straight defeat but really did not pose much of a threat to the Rossoneri.

Milan dominated the opening stages and had the first chance to take the lead in the 13th minute.

Massimo Ambrosini's left-footed strike from the edge of the area went just wide of Bari goalkeeper Jean Francois Gillet's far post.

Shortly after, Pato's central free-kick failed to trouble the keeper.

Bari struggled to break Milan's well-placed defence and the visitors continued to control the game.

On the half-hour mark, Borriello should have broken the deadlock but his powerful header from Daniele Bonera's cross went wide.

But Milan's efforts paid off in the 43rd minute.

Ronaldinho fed Borriello and his left-footed volley from the heart of the area towards the far post beat Gillet.

Bari had the first opportunity shortly after the re-start.

Emmanuel Rivas found Massimo Donati inside the area and his right-footed shot went just wide of Abbiati's far post.

Shortly after the hour mark, Barreto's bullet strike forced Abbiati to palm over the bar for a corner and

it wasn't long before Milan extended their lead.

Gillet parried away Ronaldinho's angled effort but only as far as Pato and the Brazilian made no mistake from close range.

Bari twice had the chance to reduce the arrears but Ferdinando Sforzini nodded wide from the centre of the penalty area before Donati's header from Massiello's cross went inches wide of the far post.

With nine minutes remaining, David Beckham replaced Gennaro Gattuso as Milan looked to finish on a high note.

But it was the hosts that had a chance to re-open the game late on after the referee pointed to the penalty spot when Masiello drew contact from Pato.

Abbiati guessed right as Barreto hit the ball right-footed down the middle of the goal as the keeper came up with the save to preserve the 2-0 win.

Leonardo's Milan will play Fiorentina on Wednesday and a win would lift them over Roma into second place.

Milan 2- Manchester United 3, Champions League Februari 16, 2010


Milan: Dida; Bonera, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Antonini; Beckham, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Pato, Huntelaar, Ronaldinho

Manchester United: Van der Sar; Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra; Nani, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Park; Rooney

Ronaldinho (3') Paul Scholes (36')
Clarence Seedorf (85') Wayne Rooney (66')
Wayne Rooney (74')

David Beckham had to settle for second best as the team he loves overcame the team he plays for in the San Siro.

Two second-half goals from the new Manchester United hero, Wayne Rooney, installs last season's beaten finalists as favourites to book a place in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Not even the concession of a third-minute opener for AC Milan, created by Beckham for Ronaldinho, could derail Sir Alex Ferguson's troops, although they were forced to endure some nervy moments at the end after Clarence Seedorf hauled Milan back into the tie five minutes from time.

It took a fortunate Paul Scholes effort to bring United level before the break.

But after surviving another spell of Milan pressure after half-time, Rooney stamped his class on the contest, scoring his first two European goals of the season to take his overall tally to 25.

In United circles, the summer of 2003 has become famous for Beckham's exit from Old Trafford.

Yet about a month after his move to Real Madrid was confirmed, there was an equally significant event involving Ronaldinho.

Ferguson was sure he had signed the Brazilian from Paris St Germain, convinced in his own mind every eventuality had been covered.

It was with some annoyance - mostly directed at former chief executive Peter Kenyon - Ferguson learned Ronaldinho had in fact signed for Barcelona.

As the alternative turned out to be Cristiano Ronaldo, perhaps the situation did not turn out too badly for the Red Devils.

But if Beckham had waited seven years to face his old club, United and Ronaldinho were hanging round for equally as long before their paths have crossed.

It took the former world footballer of the year just three minutes to remind Ferguson what he missed, after Beckham had done what everyone knows he can, produce excellent set pieces.

Patrice Evra's acrobatic attempt to clear that one set Ronaldinho up, although Edwin van der Sar had the shot covered before it deflected off Michael Carrick and ended up in the opposite corner.

For an old team, Milan clearly had something left.

Their passing had United twisting and turning, looking for all the world like a team on the edge of a very big cliff, not knowing precisely where the bottom was.

Ronaldinho, Luca Antonini and Klaas Jan Huntelaar twice came agonisingly close to finding Van der Sar's net again. If a couple of them had gone in, Ferguson could not have complained.

As it was, apart from Beckham, the only other 'Class of 92' graduate on the pitch was about to make a decisive contribution.

Scholes has peppered the intervening years with a number of howitzers, goals that will be admired decades from now.

This was not among them. Swinging at Darren Fletcher's low cross from the by-line, Scholes missed the ball completely with his right foot, the ball striking him half way up the shin of his standing left.

What could only be described as a freakish deflection not only took it the six yards to Dida's goal, but right in the bottom corner, giving the Brazilian no chance of keeping it out.

Milan's response was admirable, given what a shattering blow that away goal was, United's first in five away games against a fellow European heavyweight.

Andrea Pirlo forced a one-handed save out of Van der Sar with a 30-yard free-kick, then the 39-year-old Dutchman required every inch of his massive frame to flick a goalbound Ronaldinho effort round the post.

Yet in that one stroke of good fortune for Scholes, it seemed the destiny of the tie had been shaped and a minute after what turned out to be an inspired substitution, Rooney break his European duck.

Antonio Valencia, who had just replaced Nani, was the provider, sending over a cross from the right that allowed Rooney to steer a header back over Dida into the opposite corner.

Now the age in Milan's legs began to tell. And when Darren Fletcher chipped another cross into the box, Rooney stole between defenders to head home once more.

It seemed victory and progress was assured, so Ferguson will be livid at the Seedorf effort five minutes from time that ensured an uncomfortable ending and gives Milan a flicker of hope for the return in three weeks' time, when Michael Carrick will be unavailable following his dismissal deep into stoppage time.

Milan 3 Udinese 2, Bravo Huntelaar

AC MILAN VS UDINESE VIDEO HIGHLIGHT
BRAVO DINHO & HUNTELAAR


Goal : Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (7) Pato (39) Antonio Floro Flores (45) Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (57) Antonio Di Natale (86)


Ronaldinho inspired AC Milan to victory over Udinese on Friday night, warming them up for the visit of Manchester United in the Champions League on Tuesday with three more points in Serie A.

Although the Brazilian did not put his own name on the scoresheet, he set up all three goals as Milan regained second spot in the table.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored the first after seven minutes and substitute Alexandre Pato added the second five minutes before the break.

Antonio Floro Flores gave Udinese hope with a goal on the stroke of half-time before Huntelaar's second in the 57th minute restored the home side's two-goal advantage.

Antonio Di Natale pulled Udinese back into the game in the 86th minute, but they could not find an equaliser.

Milan coach Leonardo left David Beckham on the bench for the second game running, but Alessandro Nesta was back at the heart of the defence after a three-week injury absence.

And it wasn't long before Pato entered the field too with Amantino Mancini forced off injured after just 13 minutes.

By then, Milan were ahead with a bullet header from Huntelaar, who met Ronaldinho's cross at the near post in the seventh minute.

Dida was nearly caught out by Gokhan Inler's shot which he initially fumbled before clasping. Not for the first time, and not for the last either, the Milan goalkeeper did not look too comfortable.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who was watching on from the stands, will certainly have taken note.

He will also have been given a lot to ponder by Ronaldinho, who was pulling the strings in the Milan attack, setting up Pato in the 24th minute, but the linesman's offside flag was raised before the Milan striker eventually rolled the ball in.

A poor clearance from Dida gave Di Natale a gift in the 27th minute, but the Udinese striker and Serie A top goalscorer failed to take advantage as the Milan defence recovered.

There was no offside flag when another sumptuous delivery from Ronaldinho, straight into the path of Pato, set up the second goal in the 39th minute.

Udinese defender Andrea Coda succeeded partly in putting the Milan number seven off as he prepared to pull the trigger, but the ball fell kindly for Pato, who was left with a simple tap-in.

However, the Rossoneri continued to look susceptible at the back and Floro Flores headed Di Natale's cross in with the final touch of the first half.

The actual last touch of the half was Dida's as he carried the ball into his goal rather than making what should not have been too difficult a save.

Fortunately for Milan, they had Ronaldinho, who was the source of their third goal in the 57th minute.

His free-kick was met with an unintentional flick by Massimo Ambrosini and Huntelaar was on hand to fire in his second and Milan's third from close range.

Gennaro Gattuso missed the chance to wrap the game up in the 75th minute when Ronaldinho's vision and pass execution picked him out in acres of space, but Samir Handanovic blocked his shot behind for a corner.

From the corner kick, Ronaldinho's header was cleared off the line by Simone Pepe before he made way for Beckham.

Di Natale's honesty in not going down denied his side a penalty when he nudged the ball round Dida with 10 minutes remaining, but the Udinese striker was rewarded with a goal his performance deserved in the 86th minute when he beat the offside trap before beating Dida with an elegant shot.

Bologna 0- Milan 0

AC Milan fell 10 points behind city rivals Inter this afternoon after another uninspiring display at Bologna.

With Inter cruising past Cagliari 3-0 at the San Siro, a win for Leonardo's men was key to their hopes of keeping the pressure on their great rivals in the race for the Scudetto.

But a failure to find the back of the net - although they came mighty close, twice hitting the woodwork - maintained their poor recent run.

Having manoeuvred themselves into second place in Serie A behind Inter, things started to go wrong for the Rossoneri when they were outplayed in the Milan derby.

Since then they have crashed out of the Coppa Italia at the hands of Udinese and were held to a draw by relegation-threatened Livorno in a half-empty San Siro.

And there were signs of unrest in the Milan camp this week when Brazil star Ronaldinho was forced to deny he had held a three-night party in the lead-up to the Inter game.

On top of that, owner Silvio Berlusconi expressed his surprise at the signing of Mancini on loan from the Nerazzurri, saying he disagreed with the move.

It was hardly ideal preparation for a difficult clash against a side battling to preserve their top flight status.

And, although they started well - Andrea Pirlo hammering in a fifth-minute free-kick which produced a fine save from home goalkeeper Roberto Colombo - the hosts will argue they deserved a share of the spoils for their defensive resistance.

Bologna offered little going forward with their only first-half effort falling to former Italy striker Marco Di Vaio but his effort was comfortable for Dida.

Milan dominated possession but could find no way through a stubborn Bologna rearguard. The crowded penalty area forced Milan to try their luck from long range with Pirlo thrashing another shot over the bar with six minutes to go in what was a turgid first half.

Bologna had the first chance after the break, Di Vaio dispossessing Pirlo and setting off on a mazy run towards goal which was halted by a fine challenge from Luca Antonini.

Milan almost broke the deadlock after 57 minutes but luck came to the home side's rescue.

Bologna failed to clear their lines from a corner and the loose ball was turned towards goal by Ronaldinho but his shot cannoned back off the bar.

Colombo then saved well from Marco Borriello as Milan upped the tempo.

The Bologna keeper excelled himself once more with 21 minutes to go, diving bravely at the feet of substitute Klaas Jan Huntelaar after the Holland striker had been played in by Pirlo.

Milan dominated the closing stages with some wayward finishing and a lack of luck hampering their efforts to snatch all three points.

Leonardo's side thought they had won an 84th-minute penalty when Salvatore Lanna appeared to handle Ignazio Abate's right-wing cross but the referee waved play on.

Then, with a minute left, substitute David Beckham played a one-two with Borriello but the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star could only fire his shot wide from the edge of the area.

Milan came agonisingly close again in injury time when Mancini wriggled clear and whipped in a cross for Massimo Ambrosini but his header struck the bar.

He was signed by Serie B side Venezia in January 2003. During that time he struggled to adapt to Italian football, and was criticised by the Venezia manager for his errors, and for his habit of controlling the ball with the outside of his foot, which in Italy is considered unconventional.

Mancini only made 13 appearances for Venezia that season. In summer 2003 he left for Roma following the departure of his countryman Cafu to Milan on free transfer.
[edit] Roma

Having lost Cafu, Roma needed a replacement at right-back, but with his early performances in Italy being far from convincing, many Roma fans were sceptical about his ability. However, the then-manager Fabio Capello gave the Brazilian a chance, and Mancini went on to complete an outstanding first season in Serie A, the highlight being a spectacular backheel flick from a set piece in the Derby della Capitale against Lazio.

For the next 2005-06 season began to find his top form, once again becoming a key player for the Roma side. Following the Calciopoli scandal, Roma qualified for the UEFA Champions League, giving Mancini the chance to play at the highest level of club football.

In the UEFA Champions League 2006-07, Mancini left his mark with fabulous goal against Olympique Lyonnais, dazzling Lyon defender Anthony Réveillère with several stepovers before firing the ball high into the net, sending the Giallorossi into the quarter finals.

That same year, Mancini also celebrated his first silverware since arriving in Italy as Roma won the Coppa Italia, beating Internazionale in the final.

In the 2007-08 season, Mancini scored eight league goals as Roma reached the quarter finals of the Champions League and finished as runners-up in Serie A for the second year running. He did not have the best of seasons though, in what would prove to be his last in Rome.
[edit] Internazionale

After the appointment of Jose Mourinho, Mancini was signed by Internazionale for €13Malong with Ricardo Quaresma and Sulley Muntari in his maiden season. (Although Mancini was a long desire target of Massimo Moratti and ex-coach Roberto Mancini).

However, to date he has failed to become a first team regular due to his lack of consistency.
[edit] Milan

On 1 February 2010, he moved to local fierce rivals A.C. Milan, on loan for the remainder of the 2009–10 season, with an option for the Rossoneri to acquire half of the player's rights at the end of the loan spell
