Kaka returns in style

It's been a magical week for Kaka, who has returned to official competition in style. Last Tuesday he capitalized on his 12 minutes on the Bernabeu turf to dish an assist to Cristiano Ronaldo and over the weekend he stole the show in San Mames. Saturday's match marked his first start since 26 February and he took full advantage by scoring the first two goals of the game.

"He was amazing; he played a great match. We have a lot of important games ahead and he will be of great help," said Karanka in reference to Kaka's performance against Athletic Bilbao; a match that was without a doubt the Brazilian's best of the season.

Kaka's magical week began last Tuesday against Tottenham, when he replaced Di Maria on 78' and still had time to provide an assist to Cristiano Ronaldo for the fourth goal of the night. Four days later, Kaka earned the start in San Mames and along with Di Maria stole the spotlight with a brace.

His four goals on the season mean he is scoring 0.5 per match, which is tied for second best on the team with Higuain and only behind Cristiano Ronaldo.
