Watch: Pato nods in 1st European goal since 2012

Pato is back.

The 26-year-old headed in Villarreal's equaliser in Wednesday's Champions League play-off against AS Monaco - his first goal in European competition since November 2012.

His last tally came for AC Milan in the group stage against Belgian side Anderlecht.

Pato made a name for himself under the lights on these kind of European nights. His scorching run through the Barcelona defence in September 2011 left a mark in the memory of Milan fans, as he streaked in all alone to score.

Wednesday's strike is Pato's 10th European goal of his career.
