Kaka, the brazil playmaker has beaten Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to the Ballon d’Or Award 2007 (aka European Player of the Year Award). This year, the 3-young talented players are no doubt the most interesting ones to watch for. Kaka has received 444 points while Ronaldo collected only 277 points and Messi, on the third spot with 255 points.
Although i’m a huge fan of Manchester United (and Ronaldo), i feel Kaka rightfully deserved the award after his inspirational role in AC Milan’s triumphant in last season’s Champions League. He was the top scorer in the competition and he was also the one who shattered Manchester United’s dream when he scored 2 goals at Old Trafford and 1-goal at San Siro during the semi-finals. AC Milan went on to win the Champions League beating Liverpool.
The skillful and elegant Kaka is already the winner of the FIFPro world Player of the Year and UEFA European Club Player of the Year awards and is the big favourite for FIFA’s World Player of the Year award to be announced on Dec 17, 2007.
