KAKA "The Golden Boy"


The Rossoneri proved their status as possibly the best team in Europe with a scintillating display against Manchester United. Liverpool beware!

It's undisputed now that the accolade of being Europe's number one team over the past six years rightfully belongs to Milan. With a formidable display of patience, technique, technicalities and precision, the Rossoneri undertook the task to remind Manchester United what European football was about. They did it with a superb display of football to advance to the semis - and reaped the benefits of being in the last eight for six years.

Gennaro Gattuso vs. Paul Scholes: The 'Beast' proved once again why he is hailed as one of the greatest and it was his injury in the first leg led to United's comeback. This time around he showed the world why he deserved to be in Italy's World Cup winning squad.

Kaka v Cristiano Ronaldo: The Golden Boy once again blinded the United players with his pace, precision and skill, whereas his opposite number was held back by Gattuso. At the tender age of 25, the Brazilian is going to make a huge impact on the footballing world and looks the likely winnner of the Ballon D'or (FIFA World Player of the Year). He's had an amazing season.

Kaka is a product of Milan's long history of enticing and nurturing some of the greats in world soccer. From the days of Ruud Gullit, Marco Van Basten, George Weah, Frank Rijkaard, Andriy Schevchenko, Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Nesta, Clarence Seedorf and now the golden-boy Kaka, the Rossoneri are truly home to some of the greatest footballers of our time. And watch out for one of the next great players, Yoann Gourcuff.
