Kaka Expecting a Beautiful Game at Arsenal in Champions League

AC Milan midfielder Kaka is looking to have a beautiful game at Arsenal in the Champions League first leg first knock out round match. Kaka said that as they are way out of title race in Serie A, Champions league is the most important competition for his side. He prioritized to win the Champions League again this season as their chances to win the series A title is gradually being faded. He thinks that the match will be open. To him, experience is needed at this stage of Champions league, indicating the aged players of AC Milan.

Goal.com reported:

"People have called this tie against Arsenal a match between an ageing team and a new young, up-and-coming side,” the reigning Fifa world player of the year said. “It is a fair comparison, because the average age in the first team here in Milan is 32, but that doesn't mean we'll struggle against them. Experience counts for everything at this stage of the Champions League.”
“This is a game we can enjoy. It can be beautiful.”

Kaka spoken of highly about Arsenal saying that he likes the way they play. AC Milan is now 21 points behind leader Inter Milan at the top of Serie A. Arsenal is very much in the title race with five points lead at the top over the second-laced Manchester United. However, Arsenal suffered a 0-4 thrashing defeat to Manchester United in their recent FA Cup clash. Added to that, Arsenal is missing some of their key players out with injury for the Champions league clash with AC Milan. So, it is truly an open match.
