Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Tue, 11/17/2009 - 05:58

Real Madrid midfielder Kaka believes Barcelona star Lionel Messi will be named FIFA World Player of the Year next month.

Messi collected the Onze d'Or yesterday for being the best player in last season's Champions League from French magazine Onze Mondial.

Asked about who will win the World Player award, Kaka said: "I think it will be Messi for everything that Barcelona achieved last season."
