David Beckham debuts for AC Milan
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009
This ”David Beckham debut” sure was better than the last one.
After making his highly anticipated debut with the Los Angeles Galaxy nearly two years ago, David Beckham was in the middle of yet another debut for an international football team and this time, he was with AC Milan, surprising football fans on how his ‘’new debut’’ turned out this time around.

AC Milan ended up with a 2-2 draw against AS Roma.

AC Milan head coach Carlo Ancelotti initially said it would be difficult to start the former Man-U and Real Madrid star since the guy was inactive for the last two months. STILL, he had him lining up in his traditional spot on the right wing, leaving Mathieu Flamini and Massimo Ambrosini on the bench to…
