Dubai getaway for elite footballers

AC Milan's football superstars have arrived in Dubai for their winter break and warm weather training camp.

Making the most of the winter sun, AC Milan's manager Massimiliano
Allegri felt the team would benefit by taking a short break from league
action and enjoying a luxury holiday in the sun soaked Emirate.

The Italian team looked to settle into their affluent surroundings and
adjust to the warmer temperatures before they take on fellow continental
giants, Paris St Germain, in an exhibition match.

Escaping the colder climes of northern Italy the squad flew into Dubai
on two separate flights, landing at Dubai International Airport late on
Thursday evening.

The team, which includes some of football's biggest names including
Robinho and Clarence Seedorf, will hold open training sessions to the
public at Al Ahli Stadium in the evening until January 3, before playing
PSG on Wednesday at 7:30pm.

PSG, who are the favourites to sign England ace David Beckham, do not
arrive in Dubai until the Tuesday before the match.
