Lucas Paquetá was visibly moved as he dedicated his debut Milan goal to the young players who died in the Flamengo academy.
The Brazilian came up through the same Flamengo academy that burnt down this week, killing 10 teenage players and a club employee.
“It has been a very difficult time,” he told Sky Sport Italia after scoring in the 3-0 win over Cagliari.
“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.”

It was so terrible for those young players to pass on in that manner without realizing their dreams just like others , and Paqueta's feelings is quite understandable. RIP

Good of you Paqueta. You're humanly moved for feeling the impulse. Focus on your dream and be more dedicated to AC Milan my club.
