David Beckham is used to getting a lot of attention both on and off the pitch.
Just maybe not quite this friendly.
The 33-year-old football ace was seen getting groped by his AC Milan team-mates, Andrea Pirlo and Clarance Seedorf during the Serie A stars game against Bologna at the Renato Dall'Ara stadium.
But it wasn't just a case of cheeky behaviour, the pair were congratulating midfielder Beckham - and also touching him for luck after he scored his first goal for the club he is on loan to for three months.

An AC Milan insider said: 'Everyone knows Beckham has a golden touch and he has proved that since he arrived.
'Italy is a superstitious country and people often touch things for luck - the players are doing the same with Beckham and touching his bottom because he is seen as a lucky mascot.'
Pictures of the players touching the bottom of Beckham were published in several Italian newspapers, all with the headline: 'Now he is a lucky talisman.'
Since the former Manchester United player arrived in Milan, the side has not lost a match both in the Italian league, nor in a friendly.
Top selling Italian sports daily Gazzetta Dello Sport said: 'He even brings luck - since he arrived not one defeat.'
They also noted how even when he was in the stand watching Udinese they did not lose.
