It's not every day that a Ballon d'Or winner watches you perform on the biggest stage, but that happened thanks to Oppo.
How many people can say, hand on heart, that a winner of the Ballon d'Or has been in awe of your footballing ability? Well, maybe not in awe but I'll never forget what Kaka said to me on that cloudy day in London.before joining fans at the exclusive Hospitality Lounge at Wembley, where he spent more than an hour with those in attendance.
As the welcoming figure of Kaka watched on, I was given 30 seconds to complete as many kick-ups as possible in 30 seconds – something that would be seen as a simple task in the comfort of your own home. Unlike a certain Vinicius Junior later on in the evening, who slotted away with ease in front of more than 86,000, I lost all composure after that comment and made a string of errors.Still, I managed to record a very respectable score of 57 kick-ups in the allocated time frame, which was enough to secure a Champions League ball signed by Kaka.
"It's been an honour to partner with OPPO and engage with fans through a whole series of offline and digital activities during the past two Champions League seasons," he said.
