As Becks nears the end of his time with his temporary team, AC Milan loses again
David Beckham and his temporary Italian soccer team AC Milan suffered another lost this weekend as Becks enters his last week with the fútbol club. AC Milan suffered a 2-1 defeat against Sampdoria in one of Becks’s last games with his team … OUCH! But, since we’re talking about Becks here, he was lookin’ good on the soccer field nonetheless:

David Beckham’s AC Milan capped a disappointing week with a 2-1 defeat at Sampdoria which leaves them 11 points adrift of arch-rivals Inter in the Serie A title race and looking over their shoulders as they bid to seal a Champions League spot. Milan’s ageing team threw away a two-goal lead in midweek to crash out of the UEFA Cup to Werder Bremen and their latest defeat came after Antonio Cassano gave the Genoa-based side the lead in the 33rd minute. Cassano’s header was ruled to have squeezed over the line as Milan protested and the visitors were in further trouble after Gianpaolo Pazzini made it 2-0 early in the second half from a Cassano pass. Alexandre Pato scored with a clever header in the 80th minute to give Milan some hope they were unable to grab the equalizer as Emerson’s effort was ruled out. The poor results represent bad timing for Beckham, who is hoping his newly-adopted club will meet Los Angeles Galaxy’s demands to make his loan move permanent. He is due to return to the Major League Soccer team on March 9 if no deal can be reached.
Aww … poor Becks, another loss. Since we know that the LA Galaxy has, thus far, rejected the money that AC Milan has offered to buy out his contract and that Milan has said they will offer no more money in addition, Becks is scheduled to return to SoCal and the MLS at the end of this week. I’m sure this loss doesn’t really work in his favor. But, again, he did play his heart out, doing everything he could do to try and secure a win. After the jump, check out a few photos of Becks in the black and red in action this week …
