Kaka Honored in Milan Hall of Fame Ahead of Derby della Madonnina Victory
Kaka experienced a heartfelt moment as he was inducted into the AC Milan Hall of Fame prior to the team’s match against Inter in the Derby della Madonnina on Saturday evening. The former Rossoneri midfielder displayed evident emotion during the ceremony held on the pitch.
The legendary Brazilian, who remains the last Serie A player to receive the Ballon d’Or, shared his thoughts in a brief interview with DAZN after the honor was bestowed upon him by his former club.
“It’s very difficult to put into words the feelings I get here when I’m in San Siro with all the Milan fans. It’s a special day for me,” Kaka expressed.
Later, as the match proceeded, Milan secured a 3-1 victory over their rivals.
Kaka was also asked about the prospects of bringing more Brazilian talent to Milan in the future. He replied, “I like to see Brazilians at top clubs – I’d like to see them again at Milan! I like Luka Modric a lot anyway, he’s a friend of mine as well.”
Reflecting on the club’s culture, Kaka commented on the possibility of reviving a chant historically associated with Andriy Shevchenko for current player Christian Pulisic, suggesting that it would fit Pulisic, as well.
