Who is Brazil’s All-Time Top Scorer? Pele, Neymar, Ronaldo & the Most Deadly Selecao Strikers

One of the deadliest strikers of the 80s and early 90s, Bebeto featured for Brazil in three World Cups between 1990 and 1998.

He peaked at the 1994 World Cup and was one of the competition’s best players that year, scoring three goals and providing two assist to finally become a champion.

The striker repeated his feat four years later to take Brazil to the final once again, but they lost to hosts France.

It was also Bebeto who created the ‘baby’ celebrity, which he did when he scored against the Netherlands in the 1994 World Cup quarter-finals, with his wife giving birth to their third child a few days before the match.

Romario famously gave Bebeto the nickname ‘Chorao’, which means ‘Crybaby’ because of his habit of pouting at referees.
