Kaka believes that Real Madrid have the most important resource of them all ahead of their Champions League rumble with Barcelona - coach Jose Mourinho.

The 29-year-old Brazilian hails the Portuguese and feels that he could make all the difference in their semi-final first-leg tie on Wednesday as they welcome Barcelona to the Bernabeu once again.

"I'm happy. I feel good. Mourinho has been 10 [out of 10], he has been very good to me. He has been helping me a lot. He is using me well and I am available to lend a hand," he told the Brazilian press, as reported by Spanish daily AS.

Kaka is no stranger to Champions League success having played in two finals with his former team AC Milan. He lost in 2005 but two years later he won the competition with the Italian giants, and once again faces another important discourse in the battle for Europe.

"It was a big week. My birthday, two goals, the birth of my daughter. The season finale is still very good. We have won a title [Copa del Rey] and now we measure ourselves against Barcelona twice [in the Champions League]. I hope it goes well or better than in the Copa del Rey."

Kaka's future has been up for discussion, but he feels there is still a powerbase for him at the Bernabeu.

"My thought is to stay, play and succeed at Real Madrid," he concluded.
