Alexandre Pato showed why he is regarded as Brazil’s next superstar as the teenager marked his international debut with a sublime strike to earn a 1-0 win over Sweden on Wednesday.

The 18-year-old only made his first appearance for AC Milan two months ago but is already being heralded as a phenomenal young talent.

So it was fitting he made such an instant impact in a friendly match in London arranged to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Brazil’s first World Cup final triumph.

That 5-2 win over the Swedes in 1958 established Pele as the game’s first global star.

Pato has a long way to go before he can be mentioned in the same breath as Pele, but he got off to the perfect start at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium
