But Robben and Sneijder were able to succeed after that.

Still, calling him a choker may be harsh but he definitely went to shit as soon as he joined Real and wasn't able to recover, whether by changing his style or getting back in optimal shape. He just seems so slow, lethargic, and devoid of creativity.
They weren't in their 30es when they changed clubs. Also various injuries during his spell in Madrid have taken their toll and contributed to his current state, pace most notably suffered the most. He's still fairly creative, intelligent player, who makes good decisions most of the time, but the difference is noticeable between this Kaka and the one before leaving for Madrid.

The real problem came when he picked up an injury which left him on the sidelines for 6 months in 2010/11. Real bought Ozil, changed coach and suddenly Kaka became bench player. It went all downhill for him. When I look at his career in general, his spell in Milan, important goals that he scored, staggering performances that he put in, trophies that he won, I really wouldn't give him a label of a choker. Many players failed in Madrid, Robben, Sneijder, etc... One cannot judge his career based on a few years in Madrid.
he's not a choker but his injuries has taken kaka's pace away from his game, the only time i've seen kaka play like his old self was against celtic away from home this season but then again celtic are shit and peluso looked like fucking marcelo in that game
