KAKA kick put AC Milan to Final

Kaka did enough on his own to put AC Milan back into a familiar place — the Champions League final.
"Scoring two goals in the final and becoming the all-time leading scorer would be the ultimate," said Kaka, who still can match Ruud Van Nistelrooy's tournament record of 12 goals scored in 2002-03.
"I'm trying to do things that forwards do and it's going well," Kaka said. "When you're a playmaker you try to make assists. As a striker, the last ball is mine. I'm learning."

Still, Kaka is the man drawing all the attention.

"He seems like a little kid having fun scoring goals against the English," said Luigi Riva, Italy's all-time leading scorer with 35 goals. "I can only use one word: extraordinary. Kaka is a leader despite his young age. He's not affected by the fans and doesn't show any stress."

"Cristiano Ronaldo is faster but Kaka is more skillful. He's a more complete player," Altafini said.
"Milan will not allow Kaka to go to any other destination," Berlusconi said.
