David Beckham made his long-awaited AC Milan debut today as the Serie A giants beat Hamburg 4-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in Dubai.

The former England captain started the game in a Milan midfield that also featured Andrea Pirlo, Massimo Ambrosini and Ronaldinho before being substituted at half-time.

Ronaldinho put the Rossoneri ahead with a 63rd-minute penalty, but Collin Benjamin equalised four minutes later.

Beckham has joined Milan on loan from Major League Soccer side Los Angeles Galaxy until 8 March.

He could make his Serie A debut when Milan return to domestic action away to Roma on Sunday evening.
