Milan - AC Milan midfielder Manuel Locatelli admitted his disbelief after beating Juventus and Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon with a second-half stunner to secure a 1-0 win over the league leader.
"I still can't believe it, I'm sure I'll shed a few tears when I see my family and friends," a visibly moved Locatelli told Sky Sport after the game.
A talented but still unfinished 18-year-old midfielder who has been pushed into the Rossoneri first team by coach Vincenzo Montella this season, Locatelli added some welcome emotion to Serie A a fortnight ago.
He was practically inconsolable while he shed tears of joy at full-time of a 4-3 home win over Sassuolo when he struck an incredible second-half leveller.
