Biggest defeat vs. Germany
Another milestone has been added to the transfer market statistics. All matches of the national team of Brazil are available in our database. It’s only a matter of time before there’s a change at the top of the country’s record goalscorers list. Pelé currently leads the rankings with 77 goals in 92 games, but Neymar is poised to set a new record.
The 30-year-old has 75 goals in 121 games and has a chance to score more goals at the World Cup in Qatar. Not unthinkable that he then draws level with Pelé or even overtakes him. In his previous two World Cup appearances in 2014 and 2018 he scored four and two goals respectively. Although Neymar is doing well with his 121 appearances, Cafú made the most games for the “Seleção” with 143. The country’s record active player with 125 appearances is 39-year-old Dani Alves, for whom there was no place in the international team in September squad was.
The latter suffered the national team’s heaviest defeat, if only off the bench, when they beat Germany 7-1 in the 2014 World Cup semifinals. The Brazilians’ greatest victory dates back to 1949: in the Campeonato Sudamericano, the predecessor of the Copa America, they won the group game against Bolivia 10-1. At the edition, Brazil won one of its 24 titles.
