Kaka is relishing the opportunity to avenge the 2005 UEFA Champions League final defeat to Liverpool after he inspired AC Milan to victory in the semi-finals.
Milan's 3-0 second-leg victory over Manchester United at the San Siro on Wednesday night set up a rematch with the Reds, their conquerors two years ago in the famous Istanbul final.
The Brazilian midfielder echoed Carlo Ancelotti's claim that the Rossoneri played "perfect" football against the Red Devils and fully merited their place in the showpiece final.
"We have played a perfect game," admitted Kaka, who scored three of his team's five goals in the two-leg tie.
"We knew against a team like Manchester United that we needed to do something special and we have achieved it with the help of our fans.
"I am extremely happy with the way the team has played, we were the best side on the pitch and we deserved to go through.
"The final against Liverpool will be a unique game. I sincerely hope it will be different from that of 2005."
The Samba star struck the opener for the Italian giants as they dismantled United's defence and overturned the 3-2 deficit following the opening leg at Old Trafford.
Kaka, who is the top scorer in this season's Champions League with 10 goals from 12 games, brushed aside his heroics and believes team-work was the key to his side's achievement.
"I reiterate that I am not playing at my top level," said the 25-year-old. "I still have a lot to improve on.
"We have worked really hard this week and we have been rewarded."
The former Sau Paulo player told Sky Sports News that he was impressed with the performances of English clubs in Europe this season. He also claimed that playing in the Premiership would be an appealing option.
"I love the competition, the challenge," he said.
"There are many big teams.
"Three English teams made the last four of this competition, so the challenge is very appealing.
"Many champions play in England.
"If one day I was to leave Milan I would definitely look at an English team."
Kaka also suggested that Portugal winger Cristiano Ronaldo should move to the San Siro.
"He should transfer to Milan then we could play together. You never know."
