Alexandre Pato relishing reunion with K.P Boateng

Alexandre Pato admits he is relishing the opportunity to take on former teammate Kevin-Prince Boateng when Villarreal host Las Palmas on Saturday.

The duo worked together at AC Milan, winning one Serie A title and one Supercoppa Italiana over two seasons between 2010 and 2012.

And now Pato admits he is looking forward to this weekend's friend-versus-friend clash as the Yellow Submarines seek to continue to winning ways in the Spanish La Liga.

"It will be a very difficult match. We hope to get a result, because we can think of many good things and are in good form right now,"said the Brazilian.

"It is also a game that I encounter with my friend Boateng after a long time. I can not wait to start playing against Boateng.

"We expect a good game and a victory," he added.
