This week, the legendary striker Pele, who traveled to Anapilis, was marked by an outstanding record.

Brazil had three world champion titles in his collection, and this record will be very difficult to break in the next few decades.

Fourteen Brazilians, four Italians, and one Argentine have become world champions twice.

They have all long since ended their professional careers, so the most realistic chances of approaching Pele's record are only for French or Argentine footballers who become world champions in 2018 or 2022.
