DUBAI DEBUT: David Beckham in action for AC Milan against Hamburg. (AFP)
AC Milan capped their winter break training camp in Dubai by beating top German side SV Hamburg in a friendly in the emirate on Tuesday night.
In a match which saw English football icon David Beckham make his debut for the Italians, Milan drew 1-1 with the Bundesliga title-chasers side before running out 5-4 winners from the penalty spot in the Emirates-sponsored match.
Beckham, who has signed a short-term loan deal and is set to return to American club Los Angeles Galaxy in March, could make his Serie A debut for Milan in a league match away to AS Roma this Sunday.
Former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder Beckham played the first 45 minutes before being replaced by Frenchman Mathieu Flamini for the second half.

Well what a farce again. Well done to another complete hash of a venue. Traffic for miles, not one police car in sight to help as usual until the last 100 yards(fantastic job guys). Missed first 35 minutes to enter into chaos. I love the fact that the stand near the tunnel was half empty at the bottom and the upper tier wasn't even used, hope the local dignitaries had nice seats:-(
Starting the game at 7 o'clock well thought out again. You'll never get anything right while you still only have two entrances for near on 17,000 people to get into. Why at the rugby sevens can you stand round the ground but at the football your forced like sheep into the stands.
