Kaká to receive an award before the derby against Inter

Ricardo Kaká will be honoured before the derby between Milan and Inter. The former Brazilian attacking midfielder will receive the recognition on Saturday 31 October, the day when the two teams meet at 20:45 in the tenth round of Serie A.

The ceremony will take place before the match, adding a celebratory moment to the most anticipated fixture of the day in Milanese football. Kaká will therefore return to centre stage for the city derby, after becoming one of the most recognisable symbols of Milan’s recent history. The source has not provided further details about the award or the way it will be presented.

For Inter, however, the focus remains sporting: the Nerazzurri enter the derby after three consecutive wins against Shakhtar, Fiorentina and Venezia. Cristian Chivu’s team beat Shakhtar 1-0 in the Champions League on 21 October, then defeated Fiorentina 2-1 and Venezia 2-0. After facing Milan, Inter will return to action on Tuesday 3 November at 21:00 away to Feyenoord, in the fourth round of the Champions League.
