Milan coach praises the delivery man who revived his team's hopes in the Champions

Milan coach Stefano Pioli praised the wonderful story of Brazilian striker Junior Messias, who scored the team's winning goal against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night in the Champions League.

Messias, 30, moved to Italy to work in home delivery before turning to football in Italy in the late 1920s.

Messias received a pass from Frank Kessie and headed it past goalkeeper Jan Oblak to lead Milan to a 1-0 victory over Atletico and revive his team's hopes of qualifying for the round of 16.

Messias plays for Milan on loan from Crotone, and Pioli confirmed that the Brazilian striker may have a bright future with the team.

"His story is amazing, but I think it's just the beginning for him, because he has real abilities," Bewley told Amazon Prime.

"He had some difficulties when he came in at the beginning, but he is really helping the team now," concluded Pioli.
