From AC Milan to Selecao, he dazzled us all with his mesmerising skills.

He last played for MLS club Orlando City, and left a mark there too.

A true legend, he was the last player to win the Ballon d'Or (2007) before Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and he deserved it.

He was truly one of the greatest ever, and his darting runs with the ball left many opposition players staring at thin air.

Here is evidence of his cult-like status in world football, when he ghosted past Manchester United and scored a solo goal:

A true genius and a legend, the Brazilian playmaker will truly be missed.

Adios Kaka, you are forever in our hearts.
