Kaká joined UEFA's elite list as Footballer of the Year, recognizing his superb ability and effort as AC Milan's forward. In addition, AC Milan successfully defended their title against FC Sevilla in Monaco yesterday, 3-1.
AC Milan's playered garnered 4 of the 5 "Best" awards given by UEFA. Paolo Maldini won Best Defender, Clarence Seedorf as Best Defender, Kaká won Best Forward and Footballer of the Year (^.^) Peter Cech of Chelsea FC (my favorite EPL Club :>) won as best goalkeeper. Incidentally, Kaká also won in 2005 as Best Midfielder.
FC Sevilla dedicated this game to Antonio Puerta, who died a couple of weeks ago due to cardiac arrest. Despite Kaká's 87th minute goal, Sevilla fans refused to be silenced. A most fitting tribute to Puerta was seen near the railings,
Puerta Presente.
