Carlos Alberto

The 1970 World Cup is widely regarded as the greatest Finals of them all. And it's no coincidence that the Mexico tournament featured the finest Brazil team ever brought together. Jairzinho (pictured), Tostao, Rivelino and of course Pele, all lined up in the yellow, blue and white and dazzled the world with a style of football that seems unlikely to ever be surpassed. Among all the amazing moments to choose from, we've selected Carlos Alberto's goal against Italy - the last of their four goals in the final. Words can't do it justice, apart from to say, when people talk about the beautiful game, this is it.

The 2010 World Cup has finally kicked off in South Africa.
