Ricardo Kaka has revealed that the favourite goal he scores in his career was with AC Milan, but not at San Siro.
A modern legend of the club, Kaká helped Milan win the Serie A title in his first season and led the Rossoneri to win the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League as the tournament’s top goalscorer. He won the Ballon d’Or off the back of it, and scored 104 goals for the club in total.

Kaka was interviewed by UEFA TV and in the short clip he talks through the favourite goal he scored in his career, which came at the Theatre of Dreams, Old Trafford.
“Probably the best goal of my career. Dida’s assist was fantastic. The atmosphere, the fact that it was a Champions League semi-final, against United at their home ground… so many ingredients that made it a truly special goal for me.”

Legend. Unlikely we’ll ever have a player like this again, unless they come through the academy, but given the state of our youth development…
The last of the Mohicans for sure never again sadly
Such a beautiful goal. Such a beautiful tie (both games).
I recalled my Man Utd roommate at the time saying he thinks they will go through to the next round…I was like didn’t you just see what we almost did to you in your own home 😅, and also with Gattuso coming off injured as well and Maldini iirc but memory may be fuzzy. To come in the San Siro back then was pressure for the best of teams. I was so confident we’d get the job done but wasn’t expecting that smackdown
