AC Milan defender Ignazio Abate has congratulated his team mates Giampaolo Pazzini and Stephan El Shaarawy following their game against Torino on Sunday.

Both Pazzini and El Shaarawy netted in the 3-0 victory against the Turin side with the latter scoring twice.

“Happy for the return of Stephan El Shaarawy and congratulations from the heart for my friend Giampaolo Pazzini for his hundredth stamp in Serie A! #onoriamolamaglia [#WeHonourTheJersey],” Abate wrote on his official Facebook page.

Pazzini, who was handed the captain’s armband just prior to kick off by veteran goalkeeper Christian Abbiati, converted a penalty early in the second half to reach the milestone.

El Shaarawy meanwhile, made his first start for Milan since January and scored two goals before being substituted midway through the second half.

Both players have struggled for playing time this season with both sitting outside the top ten minutes played for the season.

Abate and Pazzini are off contract at the end of the season but both have expressed a desire to stay.
