Talent contest
The 25-year-old, who also finished the campaign as the UEFA Champions League’s ten-goal leading scorer, topped a poll which pitted him against AS Roma striker Francesco Totti, Liverpool FC pair Peter Crouch and Steven Gerrard, Manchester United FC prodigy Cristiano Ronaldo, FC Steaua Bucuresti hero Nicolae Dica, Olympique Lyonnais’ Juninho Pernambucano and Chelsea FC’s Didier Drogba.

Close call
Kaká, who set up Filippo Inzaghi to score the Rossoneri’s second goal in Wednesday’s 2-1 final triumph over Liverpool FC in Athens, won with more than 25,000 votes from uefa.com users to collect another award from what has been a sensational season. He narrowly overcame United’s Ronaldo, who has dazzled with his skills this term, while Dica came in third as Steaua celebrated their return to the UEFA Champions League group stage after a ten-year absence.
