Kevin Prince Boateng Revels In Italian Title Success

Midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng is celebrating AC Milan’s title success

Midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng is revelling in Italian title success after he became the third Ghanaian to win the Scudetto.

Boateng’s first season with AC Milan reached a dramatic climax on Saturday as the Rossoneri clinched their first title in seven years.  

He joins Ghana legend Stephen Appiah, who took the trophy with Juventus and Sulley Muntari who won it with Inter Milan. 

Needing a point at the Stadio Olimpico against Roma to break Inter Milan’s five-year stranglehold on the scudetto, Milan emerged triumphant after a goalless draw. 

Germany-born Boateng, selected again ahead of Antonio Cassano and Pato, could not stop smiling amid pitch-side celebrations in front of 10,000 travelling fans.    

“It’s difficult to find words for the way I’m feeling right now,” the 24-year-old told Reuters. 

“It’s unbelievable. I want to dedicate the title to my wife and child. 

“We’ve been celebrating in the dressing room too and I’m sure we’ll have some more drinks tonight,” said the Ghanaian international. 

“We’ve put up with a lot of pressure in the past few months. It’s not been easy but we showed we can do it.”   

After missing a penalty playing for Portsmouth in last season’s FA Cup final, Boateng had an exceptional World Cup for Ghana before a complicated move to Serie A where he plays for AC Milan but is jointly owned by Genoa.
