No one disputes the status of Brazilian Addison Arantes do Nascimento, known as "Pelé", as one of the legends of the game of football throughout history, and there are those who consider him even better than his Argentine counterpart Diego Armando Maradona.

Pele's achievements with the Brazil national team in particular are indisputable, and despite decades of his retirement, many of his numbers are still steadfast, and it is difficult to break them in the near future.

It seems that the success of Neymar da Silva (74 goals in 120 international matches) in breaking one of Pele's numbers (77 goals from 91 international matches) is a matter of time, but the Paris Saint-Germain star, and even other players, will not be able to reach his other numbers.

And Pele made 3 amazing numbers, in the World Cup, a global brand registered in his name only, which we monitor in the following lines:

Won the World Cup 3 times

Pele monopolizes a special record that has been standing for more than 50 years, and it would be difficult for any other player to break it.

It is represented in Pele's success as a player, winning the World Cup in 3 out of the 4 editions he participated in, winning the 1958, 1962 and 1970 World Cups.

Pele is the only player to win the World Cup 3 times (European)

Pele scored two out of five goals against Sweden in the 1958 World Cup final, but failed to beat Czechoslovakia in the 1962 World Cup final, but the most important thing was to win the title.

Pele and his country were unable to win the third title in a row, by exiting the first round in the World Cup England 1966, but they returned to regain the cup in Mexico 1970, at the expense of Italy.

Youngest player to score a hat-trick

Pele led the Brazilian national team to a great and indisputable victory, at the expense of his French counterpart, in the semi-finals of the 1958 World Cup in Sweden.

That match was held on June 24, 1958, in which the Brazilians were leading 2-1 until the 53rd minute.

At that time, Pele dusted himself off and scored 3 consecutive goals (hat-trick) in the 53rd, 64th and 75th minutes, paving the way for his country to reach the final.

🇸🇪 On this day at the 1958 World Cup…

Pelé, at 17 years & 244 days old, became the youngest player ever to score a hat-trick at a World Cup finals as Brazil defeat France 5-2 in the semi-final at the Råsunda Stadium, Stockholm.

On that day, Pele became the youngest player in the history of the World Cup finals to score a "hat-trick" in one match, at the age of 17 years and 244 days.

Although this (hat-trick) is the only Pele in the World Cup, considering him the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the World Cup has been steadfast for 64 years, waiting for an outstanding talent to be able to break this record.

Youngest player to score in the final

At the age of 17 years and 249 days, "The Brown Jewel" played the first final match in the World Cup in its history, and that was on June 29, 1958.

On that day, the "samba" faced the host country Sweden in the final, but that did not prevent Pele from scoring two goals out of five, which put Brazil on the throne of world football for the first time.

On this day in 1958…

Brazil beat Sweden 5-2 in the World Cup final in Stockholm.

The pick of the goals came in the 55th minute from some 17-year-old kid named Pelé… I wonder whatever became of him?
