MADRID: Real Madrid midfielder Kaka was delighted to return to action on Monday when he played the last quarter of an hour of the La Liga giants’ 3-2 win at Getafe just under five months after a knee operation.
The Brazil playmaker and 2007 World Player of the Year looked fit and hungry, linked well with Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo and managed one effort on goal that flew well wide.
The 28-year-old former AC Milan player had not featured for his club since May and after representing Brazil at the World Cup had surgery on his knee at the start of August.
“I am very happy to finally be back and return to the pitch with my team-mates,” he said in an interview with Spanish TV. “I went through some very difficult moments during this period but at last I think it’s over.
“I didn’t know when I would return, if I would return, and I am very happy. I felt really good.”
Asked if he was disappointed not to have hit the target with his one chance, he said the victory for the team was more important.
He dedicated his return to his family: “Above all, to my wife as she knows what I went through.”
