REAL Madrid sits comfortably on top of Champions League Group D but the resurgence of Kaka is perhaps an even more pleasing development for coach Jose Mourinho.
"He has had a really bad time," Mourinho's assistant Aitor Karanka, standing in for his suspended boss, told a news conference.
"For those of us who have kept faith in him, seeing the look of happiness he has had on his face for a while now is very satisfying," he added. "A great player like him, and considering what he has been through, deserves to be happy again."
The 29-year-old Brazil playmaker has mostly been a shadow of the man who won the World Player of the Year award in 2007 since he joined from AC Milan at the end of the 2008-09 season for a fee of almost 70 million euros (US$95.4 million).
He has suffered a series of injuries and needed knee surgery after last year's World Cup.
