Milan Fans Plead For Kaka To Stay At San Siro

Text

Kaka was relatively quiet in what could be his last game for the seven-times European champions.

An Alexandre Pato goal gave AC Milan a 1-0 win over Fiorentina on Saturday as fans at the San Siro vocally urged the club not to sell Brazilian Kaka to cash-rich Manchester City.

Kaka was relatively quiet in what could be his last game for the seven-times European champions.

Milan fans displayed banners such as "Kaka is Priceless" and "Hands Off Kaka" and sang "Don't Sell Kaka" after the club admitted this week they are considering an offer from Manchester City that is reportedly worth over 100 million euros.

Loan signing David Beckham had a mixed home debut for Milan, who had Marek Jankulovski sent off in stoppage time for a second yellow card.

The Englishman was booked and misplaced a few passes but he also recovered a ricochet in the move that led to the goal and had a decent shot pushed away for a corner just before halftime.

Pato drilled in with the help of the far post in the seventh minute to give third-placed Milan 37 points from 19 games, six behind Serie A leaders Inter Milan, who visit Atalanta on Sunday (1400).
