Kaká has been voted as the FIFPro World Player of the Year and FC Barcelona have had three of their players included in the FIFPro World XI.

Fédération International de Footballeurs Professionels (FIFPro) have announced the results after their 57,500 members voted for their favourites from the 2006-07 season.

After Ronaldinho retained the honour last year, his compatriot Kaká has lifted the award this time and as clearly delighted.

“I am humbled to receive such an honour," the AC Milan star told the FIFPro website. "To follow my good friend and such a great player as Ronaldinho makes this a very special award for me.

"To be recognized by my fellow professional players worldwide coming from over 50,000 players is amazing. I would like to thank my teammates and coaches and everyone involved at Milan and the national team, as well as my family and friends for their support.

"Thank you also to FIFPro for this award and for your work in protecting the interests and welfare of players around the world."

While Kaká earned a place in the World XI, it was Barça that gained the most nominations with Carles Puyol, Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho being named in the side.

Gianluigi Buffon retained his place as the favourite keeper, while Fabio Cannavaro was also named in the team again along with Ronaldinho from the 2005-06 vote.

The FIFPro World XI for 2006-07:
Buffon (Juventus)
Terry (Chelsea), Cannavaro (Real Madrid), Puyol (FC Barcelona), Nesta (Milan)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Mnachester United), Gerrard (Liverpool), Kaká (Milan), Messi (FC Barcelona)
Drogba (Chelsea), Ronaldinho (FC Barcelona).
