Ronaldo (R9)

Ronaldo (R9) redefined the striker position with explosive pace and clinical finishing, winning two Ballon d'Or awards (1997, 2002). He scored 62 goals in 98 caps for Brazil, including 8 goals in the 2002 World Cup, with two in the final against Germany—the only Brazilian to score twice in a World Cup final since Pele in 1958. His 62 international goals are 14 more than Zico's 48, making him the third-highest Brazilian scorer of all time. Over his career in top European leagues, Ronaldo averaged 0.67 goals per match, a rate that is cheaper than the typical rival striker from his era.
