'Also the fact' - Kaka makes Liverpool claim before Champions League final v Real Madrid

Former Real Madrid midfielder Kaka believes the Champions League final between the Spanish giants and Liverpool has all the makings for a 'special game' in Paris.

Kaka knows Liverpool well after featuring against them, when they were managed by Rafa Benitez, in two Champions League finals. The Brazilian played a starring role in the first half in Istanbul in 2005 but the Reds famously came back to draw level at 3-3 before winning on penalties. However, the 2007 final went the way of Kaka and AC Milan, who were managed by former Everton boss and now Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti.

The match between Real Madrid, the newly crowned La Liga champions, and Liverpool, who are battling for the Premier League, is set to be a classic encounter between two of the biggest and most successful clubs in European competition.
