United tormentor: Kaka at Old Trafford

Kaka believes the team played a "perfect game" against the Red Devils and fully merited their place in the final in Athens on May 23.

"We have played a perfect game," admitted Kaka, who scored three of Milan's five goals in the two-leg tie.

"We knew against a team like Manchester United that we needed to do something special and we have achieved it with the help of our fans.

"I am extremely happy with the way the team has played, we were the best side on the pitch and we deserved to go through.

"The final against Liverpool will be a unique game. I sincerely hope it will be different from that of 2005."

The Brazilian struck the opener to put his team on their way to overturning the 3-2 deficit following the opening leg at Old Trafford.

Midfielder Clarence Seedorf added the second before substitute Alberto Gilardino made it 3-0 to bring the San Siro fans to their feet.

Kaka, who is the top scorer in this season's Champions League with 10 goals, brushed aside his heroics and believes team-work was the key to his side's achievement.

"I reiterate that I am not playing at my top level," said the 25-year-old. "I still have a lot to improve on.

"We have worked really hard this week and we have been rewarded."
