The following are the five top goalscorers in the country's history:

Zico made 71 appearances for Brazil, but failed to win the World Cup with his country. He came close to bringing Brazil to win in 1978 when Brazil finished third.

This figure is a classic attacking midfielder and number ten player. He was very good at creating chances and scoring goals and was brilliant at dribble.

Zico spent 16 years playing for Flamengo in his country. In addition, he also played for Udinese in Serie A between 1983 and 1985.

He retired at J-League club Kashima Antlers and currently serves as their sporting director. He has managed several post-retiring teams including FC Goa in the Indian Super League.

Romprio made 71 appearances for Brazil and won the World Cup in 1994. He also had two Copa America trophies which he won with the Samba team in 1989 and 1997.

Romario's career journey at Vasco da Gama and enjoying great success at PSV Eindhoven and Barcelona between 1988 and 1995. While in PSV Eindhoven uniform, he made 148 appearances and scored 128 goals.

Rom kimrio is one of the most impulsive finishers ever. He was very deadly in the penalty box.

Johan Cruyff even once said that Romario was the best player he had ever trained.

Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima, who is familiarly known as Ronaldo, made 99 appearances for the Samba squad and won the World Cup successfully in 1994 and 2002.

He also twice led Brazil to the Copa America champions.

The player nicknamed Il Fenomeno started his career at Cruzeiro before moving to PSV Eindhoven in 1994.

His great performance made him move to Barcelona and Inter Milan before joining Real Madrid. Ronaldo spent five years at Madrid, making 177 appearances and scoring 103 goals.

Neymar has made 121 appearances for Brazil and has a chance to become the country's top scorer at the end of his career. The former Barcelona player hasn't won a major tournament with his country, but this year he has a good chance to do it.

Neymar started his career at Santos before Barcelona signed him in 2013. He then moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017. He has won many trophies with the club so that winning the World Cup will complement his brilliant career.

Pemarist made 92 appearances for Brazil during his career and won three World Cups between 1958 and 1970. He spent almost his entire career at Brazilian club Santos and is considered one of the greatest players ever.

His record of scoring goals during his career in football is still in debate. However, what is certain is that he has scored more than 600 goals for Santos and has become one of the most popular players to skyrocket Brazil's name on the global scene.
