AC Milan and Brazil legend Kak was inducted into the AC Milan Hall of Fame in front of a packed San Siro crowd on Saturday ahead of the derby clash between AC Milan and Inter Milan.
Kak represented AC Milan in two spells from 2003 to 2009 and then from 2013 to 2014, and was one of the most decorated stars of the club, having won Serie A, UEFA Champions League and a prestigious Ballon d'Or award in his first stint with the club. The legendary Brazillian's first goal against Inter came in October 2003, leading the club to a 3-2 win. Ahead of the match in a letter to the fans, Kak said as quoted by Goal.com, "Dear Milan fans, the derby match will remain etched in my memory, and scoring my first goal during it was truly a unique feeling. Some magical moments are unforgettable, and some kinds of love never end." He added: "Forza Milan!". As Kak received the award, he was moved to tears after witnessing the love from the home crowd. https://x.com/acmilan/status/2116676813602611473 Coming to the match, AC Milan continued their unbeaten run over arch-rivals Inter Milan with a 3-1 win in their derby match in the ongoing Serie A 2026-27 on Saturday.
