3 World Cups. 1,279 goals. Youngest World Cup Final scorer. The original GOAT.
Pelé won three FIFA World Cups (1958, 1962, 1970) — the only player in history to achieve that feat — scoring 77 goals in 91 appearances for Brazil. His official tally of 1,279 goals in 1,363 games remains the most cited in football history. He was just 17 years old when he scored twice in the 1958 World Cup Final, becoming the youngest scorer in a World Cup Final ever. His 1970 Brazil side is widely regarded as the greatest international team ever assembled. Pelé's combination of athletic power, skill, and goal-scoring defined a golden era of Brazilian football.
