15 World Cup goals. 3x World Player of Year. 2002 Final brace. Prime was otherworldly.
Ronaldo Nazário won the FIFA World Player of the Year award three times (1996, 1997, 2002) and scored twice in the 2002 World Cup Final against Germany to give Brazil their fifth title. His 15 World Cup goals in 19 games remain a tournament record. At his peak with Barcelona and Inter Milan in 1996–97, he was arguably the most unstoppable forward in history — combining sprint speed at 100m level with extraordinary close control. Injuries robbed him of five seasons, yet he still stands as one of the two or three greatest strikers ever to play the game.
