Rooney: Kaká And Ronaldo Are The Key Players
Wayne Rooney has admitted that he was impressed by AC Milan's Kaká in the first leg and believes that Cristiano Ronaldo deserves special praise for his performances this season.
The Manchester United forward looked ahead to the second leg of the Champions League semi final and was complimentary about the media's favourite players.
"I think Kaká showed how good he is with his two goals and Ronaldo has proved himself all season by playing well week in, week out," Rooney told uefa.com.
While Kaká netted a brace and Ronaldo showed glimpses of his magic in United's 3-2 win, it was the England international that stole the headlines with a late winner in the first game at Old Trafford.
Despite being a regular in the side as United have battled on three fronts this term, Rooney is still feeling fresh and ready to help his side in their quest for silverware.
"It's the end of the season and I'm feeling good, feeling fit, and hopefully I can keep playing and scoring goals," he said.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side are top of the Premiership by five points, in the final of the FA Cup and just 90 minutes away from the Champions League final.
Just one of those trophies would make the Red Devils' season a success, but Rooney wants the lot.
"I'd like to win all of them to be honest," he joked. "Personally I'd most like to win the league, being from England and watching the Premiership all my life, so hopefully we can win that and do well in the Champions League as well.
"It would be a dream come true, a Champions League final. It's what all players want to do."
