Ghana midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng has said his performance in Wednesday’s Champions League victory for Milan over Bate Borisov has silenced his critics.

The Ghana midfielder scored a cracker as the Rosseneris defeated the Belarus side two nil and Boateng is happy with the form he displayed. “I’m very happy; it was very important for us to win. It was a good game we did our job so everything’s good,” Boateng told the official Uefa website.

”They played in two banks of four; they were playing very tight, so we didn’t have a lot of space.

“I tried my luck a couple of times in the first half and in the end I was very happy to score. I’m delighted with the goal, because before the game and last week there were some negative comments made about me and some doubts [suggesting] I’m not focused on football.

“That’s why I went out there today and wanted to prove that I am concentrated on football; so I was delighted to score.
