The Brazilian superstar revealed to AS his all-time top 11 composed of players he has played with or faced in his career: Messi is a shocking exclusion
Three former Juventus players in Kaká’s all-time top 11. The Ballon d’Or winner in 2007 was invited by AS to choose his dream eleven composed of former teammates and other stars he faced on the field.
Kaká leaves out Messi
Kaká’s ideal team features Dida in goal; Cafú, Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Nesta, and Roberto Carlos in defense; Andres Iniesta, Zinedine Zidane, and Andrea Pirlo in midfield; Ronaldinho, Ronaldo “Fenomeno,” and Cristiano Ronaldo in attack.
It’s a star-studded lineup, but notably, Messi’s absence didn’t go unnoticed. The team comprises nine World Cup champions (Dida, Cafú, Roberto Carlos, Nesta, Iniesta, Zidane, Pirlo, Ronaldinho, and Ronaldo) and nine Ballon d’Or winners: five for Cristiano Ronaldo, two for Ronaldo, and one each for Ronaldinho and Zidane.
