Milan's teenage sensation Alexandre Pato has expressed his conviction that they will be amongst the Champions League qualifiers by the time all is said and done this season.
The 18-year-old came up big for Milan yet again on the weekend, by scoring the goal that saw them take maximum points from a must-win match against Torino.
"I am optimistic and I am convinced that we will reach the Champions League places," he boomed after the victory.
Pato also showed his humble side by saying that the credit for the goal should belong to Alberto Gilardino, as all he had to do was get a foot on the ball.
"Do not give the goal to me: you have to give Gilardino, the merit is all his," the charismatic youngster concluded.
