Why is there no Pi-backbonding in BeCl2?

The $\ce{Cl}$ atoms in $\ce{BeCl2}$ donate a lone pair to the $\ce{Be}$ atom of another molecule so that Beryllium can complete its octet.

What I don't understand is why don't the $\ce{Cl}$ atoms donate the lone pair to the $\ce{Be}$ of the same molecule and form $\pi-$backbonds?
