Former AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato has no doubts this weekend's clash with Monza will be emotional.

Monza owner Silvio Berlusconi and GM Adriano Galliani will see the club face Milan for the first time since they left the Rossonero.

Pato said: “It is a special moment for Monza to have owners like Berlusconi and Galliani… It will be different. Then on the pitch there will be a whole different motivation. We don't know what Berlusconi and Galliani will say in the locker room (laughs)."

On Monza coach Raffaele Palladino, Pato added: “Of course yes, I remember him when he was at Genoa. I think Monza struggled at the beginning, now he is reacting. Now it's not just a football match, there are so many things at stake. It's very special, I'll watch it."
