Andriy Shevchenko has pinpointed Alexandre Pato to be the decisive factor for Milan when his former side comes up against Juventus on Saturday in a Scudetto showdown.

The match is considered to be one of the first championship deciders between the two teams since 2005, a match in which the Ukrainian took part in.

“Against Juventus is always a much anticipated game, but Milan has always had great performances against Juventus,” noted the Dynamo Kiev player.

“In games such as Saturday it is the team and the group is more important than the individuals and the spirit of Milan in these challenges has always come out great.”

It was originally expected that the Brazilian would not partake in the match on Saturday after he picked up yet another muscle strain during his brief cameo against Arsenal, but it now seems he will be fit and may potentially start.

“For Pato it could be his moment, if he were to play, I'm sure he will make a difference.”

The ‘Duck’ has spent the better part of the season on the sidelines for Milan and has not scored since the opening game of the season against Napoli.
