Kaka has won the praise of Sir Alex Ferguson




THE two players rated by Sir Alex Ferguson as the best in the world collide on Tuesday – and whoever comes out on top could decide which club reaches next month’s Champions League final.

Fergie believes there is no one to touch his own Cristiano Ronaldo – but he admits that in Brazilian star Kaka, AC Milan have a player who can also lay claim to being one of the greatest in the game today.

Manchester United boss Ferguson admitted: “I think on present form Cristiano and Kaka are the two best players in the world. I watched Kaka the other night and he did very well.”

Kaka, 25 today, has been dazzling in the Champions League, making up for a relatively poor domestic season by Milan’s high standards.

He scored the winner at Anderlecht, when his side were down to ten men, and then hit a superb hat-trick in the return fixture.

And his extra-time solo effort against battling Celtic put Milan through to the quarter-finals, in which he netted from the spot against Bayern.
