Ronaldo and Kaka together. That will be something to watch out for. Blistering Pace from both... Quick feet from Ronaldo... Slalom runs by Kaka... Sensational finishes by Ronaldo.... Deft finishes by Kaka.... Amazing...
One would almost forget that they still have Raul, Nistelrooij, Robben, Guti, Van Der Vaart, Schneider, etc. in their ranks....
