#4 Winning the Golden Ball and the Confederations Cup in 2009
After a disappointing 2006 World Cup, Kaka played in his next international competition at the 2009 Confederations Cup. Wearing the number 10 jersey, the Brazilian proved to everyone that he still had it in him as he guided the Selecao to their second consecutive Confederations Cup crown.

It was a moment to savour on a personal note for Kaka as he made the most of his inclusion and won the Golden Ball award for that tournament. His two goals came in Brazil's opening group encounter against Egypt.
As the competition progressed, Kaka amassed a couple of assists en route to lifting the trophy after beating the United States in the final. His appearance in that game saw him being named Man of the Match and added bonus points in the decision to name him the player of the tournament.
It was an exceptional performance by Kaka, and arguably the best international tournament for him on a personal level. Certainly winning the World Cup would have meant more, but Kaka wasn't as much of a regular in that squad as he was in this one.
