When Kaka made his big money move to Real it seemed like a fantastic piece of business for Real Madrid. They were getting the best attacking midfielder in the world who was the best player in the world after Ronaldo and Messi.

Unfortunately Kaka got injured halfway through his first season at Real and he never really recovered after that. By the time Kaka returned to the first team, Jose had already Mesut Ozil his number 10 and Kaka was not played in his favored position.

No can say that Kaka did not try nor can they say he was an utter waste of money. He did show some moments of the Milan magic but by and large it was a huge let down from the initial expectations. An unfortunate transfer flop. A real pity for everyone involved !
