AC Milan midfielder Kaka won the 2007 Golden Ball award Sunday in Paris after helping the Italian club win the Champions League title this year with some standout performances.
The 25-year-old Brazil international notably played a starring role in AC Milan's triumphant Champions League campaign scoring 10 goals.
"It has been a special year for me, this award underlines that," Kaka said. "The only way to win an award like this is to belong to a team which fights. I have to thank the players, the coach."
"It's a great honour as the wife of Kaka to be at this ceremony. I know how important it was for my husband to win this trophy," said his wife Caroline.
Kaka received 444 points from France Football magazine, which organized the vote. Portugal and Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo was second with 277, while Argentina and FC Barcelona forward Lionel Messi finished third with 255.
Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro won the award last year after leading his team to the World Cup title in Germany.
The 52 journalists were only allowed to vote for a player from a European club.
This year's format was different, involving 96 journalists and a shortlist of 50 players worldwide.
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba was fourth with 108 points, and Italy and Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo finished fifth with 41.
After helping Real Madrid win the Spanish league title, striker Ruud van Nistelrooy was sixth. Brazil forward Ronaldinho, the 2005 winner, dropped to 12th, and France striker Thierry Henry was 19th.

上周日，2007年歐洲“金球獎(jiǎng)”評(píng)選結(jié)果在法國(guó)巴黎揭曉，意大利AC米蘭俱樂(lè)部中場(chǎng)球員卡卡獲此殊榮。卡卡在今年的“歐洲冠軍杯”比賽中以其突出的表現(xiàn)幫助球隊(duì)奪得了冠軍。
這位25歲的巴西球星在本屆“歐冠杯”中共攻入10粒進(jìn)球，對(duì)AC米蘭隊(duì)奪冠起到了十分關(guān)鍵的作用。
卡卡說(shuō)：“對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，這是不同尋常的一年，這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)印證了這一點(diǎn)。只有為一個(gè)充滿斗志的球隊(duì)效力才能獲此殊榮。因此我要感謝我的隊(duì)友，感謝教練。”
卡卡的妻子卡羅琳說(shuō)：“作為卡卡的妻子來(lái)參加他的頒獎(jiǎng)儀式，我感到無(wú)比光榮。我知道，贏得這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)對(duì)于我丈夫來(lái)說(shuō)有多么重要。”
根據(jù)法國(guó)《足球》雜志的評(píng)選結(jié)果，卡卡以444分榮獲“金球獎(jiǎng)”；葡萄牙國(guó)家隊(duì)和曼聯(lián)俱樂(lè)部邊鋒克里斯蒂亞諾?羅納爾多以277分位居第二；阿根廷國(guó)家隊(duì)和巴薩俱樂(lè)部前鋒梅西以255分排在第三。
去年的“金球獎(jiǎng)”得主是意大利國(guó)家足球隊(duì)隊(duì)長(zhǎng)法比奧?卡納瓦羅，他帶領(lǐng)球隊(duì)奪得了德國(guó)“世界杯”冠軍。
按照以往的評(píng)選規(guī)則，只有52名記者能參與“金球獎(jiǎng)”的投票，投票范圍也僅限歐洲俱樂(lè)部的球員。
但今年的評(píng)選有所不同，參與投票的記者增加至96名，“金球獎(jiǎng)”的50名候選人也擴(kuò)大到了世界各地的俱樂(lè)部。
切爾西俱樂(lè)部前鋒迪迪爾?德羅巴以108分位列第四，意大利國(guó)家隊(duì)和米蘭俱樂(lè)部中鋒安德魯?皮爾洛以41分名列第五。
幫助球隊(duì)奪得西甲聯(lián)賽冠軍的馬德里俱樂(lè)部前鋒魯?shù)?范?尼斯特爾魯伊位居第六。2005年金球獎(jiǎng)得主、巴西國(guó)家隊(duì)前鋒羅納爾迪尼奧跌至第12位，法國(guó)隊(duì)前鋒特里?亨利名列第19位。
