He arrived at the far post to finish Davide Calabria’s cross well, and raised his hands to the sky in a tribute to the victims of the fire at Flamengo’s academy, which killed ten people.
“It has been a very difficult time,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“I am living a dream playing for Milan and scoring my first Serie A goal, but it was also a dream for me to be in the Flamengo youth academy and I can’t forget those who were experiencing the same thing.”
