Former Brazil superstar Kaka was counted among the best in the world, particularly during his stint with Serie A giants AC Milan. The former superstar, who brought down the curtains to his decorated career in 2017, mesmerised the world of football with his magical skills on the field. Even at 38, Kaka seems to have suggested he still has quite some footballing skills left in him, as he tweeted a video of himself netting a fine goal.

Kaka goal video reminisces his stint with AC Milan 

Kaka took to Twitter to share a video of him scoring a splendid goal in what appears to be a local game. The former Brazilian midfielder, who is seen donning the number 22 shirt, appears to run down the left flank before he nets the ball past the goalkeeper from a stunning strike from the edge of the penalty box. 

The former Real Madrid star's caption appeared to take a cheeky jibe at one of his teammates, Ali. The former midfielder, who is credited to have won the Ballon d'Or before Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's dominance, asked Ali if he should have cut the ball back at him. Interestingly, the video suggests that Ali had indeed asked the 38-year-old to cut the ball to him, but he decided to take a shot instead.
