There was a curious error when Junior Messias came off the Milan bench against Udinese, as his name was written wrong on his jersey.
The Brazilian is having only his second Serie A season, having spent much of his career in the lower leagues and until a few years ago still delivering washing machines to make ends meet.
So it’s perhaps not too surprising that he’s not yet a household name, but the man who scored their Champions League winner away to Atletico Madrid probably ought to be recognised within his own locker room.
When he came off the bench as a substitute against Udinese at the Dacia Arena this evening, Messias had ‘Meessias’ written on the back of his jersey.
The 30-year-old was signed on loan from Crotone for €2.6m over the summer, with an option to buy for a further €5.4m at the end of the season.
He has contributed three goals in seven competitive games for the Rossoneri between Serie A and the Champions League.
