Personal milestones

In 1997, Ronaldo was the top scorer for the Brazilian squad, which for the first time in history won the America Cup away from home, subsequently repeating this feat two years.

Ronaldo became the first player ever to win the much-coveted FIFA's Golden Boots  twice in a row.

This top athlete was the star of the Brazilian squad who, upon winning the seven disputed matches, contributed to leading Brazil's biggest victory in a World Championship (in 1970,  Brazil had disputed only six games Ronaldo scored 58 goals in his first 60 games as a pro*

Pelé, as on the other hand, scored 49 goals in his first 60 games

Ronaldo is the Brazil's greatest top scorer in World Cups: 12 goals*

Pelé holds the same score, but competed in four cups (1958, 1962, 1966 and 1970), whereas Ronaldo only competed in two (1998 e 2002)

Details of Ronaldo's heroic saga in Japan and Korea's World Cup

Since 1950 Brazil had not produced the World Cup's top scorer

Since 1978 the world's champion squad had not produced the contest's top scorer

Since 1970, when Carlos Alberto Torres scored against Italy, the Brazilian squad had not celebrated a goal at a World Cup final. Ronaldo went on to score two goals, putting that dry spell to an end in 2002
