#5 Kaka

Kaka also featured in the Zidane XI that played against a Benfica All Stars in 2010. The Brazilian, who is the last one to win the Ballon d’Or before the Messi-Ronaldo hegemony took effect, started the charity game and was joined on the pitch by Bhutia in the second half. Both Kaka and Bhutia found the net in the game that ended in an entertaining 3-3 draw.

Although Kaka was in the middle of the 2010/11 season with Real Madrid, he ensured he was part of the fundraiser game for the Haiti disaster, thus adding a touch of modern glamour to the match. Although Bhutia was a footnote in the event judging by the array of stars that participated, the Sikkimese star definitely made his mark by scoring a goal.
