Brazilian great Kaka has named his Dream XI with one notable absentee.
The former Real Madrid and AC Millan playmaker, currently with MLS newcomers Orlando City SC, revealed his starting line-up in an interview with the Daily Mail but failed to mention Barcelona star Lionel Messi.
Kaka included plenty of ex-teammates, for both club and country, with no less than five fellow Brazilians in the XI while Messi's rival Cristiano Ronaldo was among the selections.
