When Kevin-Prince Boateng Moonwalked at San Siro After AC Milan’s Scudetto Triumph
Few footballers possess the charisma and flair of Kevin-Prince Boateng, and fewer still have managed to turn a title celebration into a moment of pure entertainment history. That’s exactly what happened on May 14, 2011, when Boateng moonwalked across the San Siro pitch, cementing his place not just in AC Milan folklore, but in football pop culture.
Milan had just secured their 18th Serie A title, ending a seven-year wait for Scudetto glory. The atmosphere at the San Siro was electric. Fans roared, fireworks lit up the sky, and players basked in the euphoria of victory. But it was Boateng — ever the showman — who stole the show.
Wearing a sparkling black fedora and a sequined glove in tribute to his idol Michael Jackson, Boateng took center stage during the post-match celebrations. As the King of Pop’s music blared through the stadium speakers, the Ghanaian international broke into a choreographed routine, executing Jackson’s legendary moonwalk to perfection in front of thousands of adoring fans and teammates.
The moment was spontaneous, joyful, and unmistakably “Prince.” It summed up everything that made Boateng beloved by fans — his passion, his personality, and his unapologetic love for performance both on and off the pitch.
Boateng had promised the dance weeks earlier if Milan won the league, and true to his word, he delivered — with flair. The celebration quickly went viral, drawing headlines around the world and further endearing him to the Rossoneri faithful.
More than a decade later, that moonwalk remains one of Serie A’s most unforgettable celebration moments. It was a reminder that football, at its best, is about joy, expression, and connecting with fans in ways that go beyond the final whistle.
Kevin-Prince Boateng may have played for clubs across Europe, but that night at San Siro — moonwalking in front of 80,000 fans — is one of the defining moments of his career. A true showman, on the grandest of stages.
