Kaka better than Ronaldo: Brazil legend Altafini

New Delhi: Former Milan and Brazil legend Jose Altafini believes Kaka is better than Cristiano Ronaldo and he has tipped the Brazilian to win the Ballon d'Or once again after scooping the award in 2007.

Kaka was officially unveiled by Real Madrid on Tuesday night in what was a high-profile, glitz and glamour press conference in front of 50,000 fans inside the Bernabeu. Altafini believes the Brazilian ace will be the star of the new Galacticos ahead of Portuguese winger Ronaldo, who is set to be unveiled by the club on Monday.

"I think Kaka is destined for greatness at Real Madrid and he will become their idol, just like he was at Milan and Sau Paolo," Altafini told Sky Sport Italia.

"I don't think you can judge Kaka and Ronaldo based on who scores the most, look at Pele and Maradona.

"In my opinion, and not because I am Brazilian, I think Kaka is the best. Ronaldo has extraordinary power and potential, but Kaka is better and I think he will win the Ballon d'Or again.

"He has a great personality and character and Milan fans will be suffering plenty following his departure."
