Prior to the 2002 World Cup, Ronaldo had not played once in Brazil's qualifying campaign. In fact, he had barely for Inter Milan since rupturing his cruciate in April 2000 and wasn't predicted to make much of an impact for the 'Selecao', who were lucky to qualify at all.

South American football expert, Tim Vickery wrote, "Without Ronaldo, Brazil were a shambles, fortunate even to get to the tournament. With him, it was a different story."

The perseverance from the Brazilian saw him rack up 6 goals on the way to the final before scoring a brace to down Germany and banish the nightmares of France '98.

Ronaldo spoke about his obsession with lifting the World Cup trophy, having missed out in 1998. "I used to visualise the trophy in front of my eyes and imagine what a wonderful feeling it must be to hold it up in the air. It was a fabulous feeling actually to hold it in my hands and kiss it."
