Bacca is like Shevchenko - Galliani

AC Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani says Carlos Bacca reminds him of club legend Andriy Shevchenko.

The Colombia international netted twice as the Rossoneri edged past Palermo 3-2 on Saturday, taking his tally up to three goals in four Serie A appearances, following his summer move from Sevilla.

And Galliani sees many similarities between the 29-year-old and the clinical former striker, who won the Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia during a seven year spell at the San Siro club.

"In certain movements and then in the way he headed the third goal against Palermo, Carlos brought Sheva back into my mind," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"At the stage I thought of the goal that Andriy scored against Roma, the header that was decisive for the title in May 2004. And then also when he scored against Porto in the European Super Cup in 2003.

"Coincidentally, the next day I got a call from Shevchenko. I spoke with him and he had seen the game and wanted to compliment us. The comparison of him and Bacca was not unanimous."
