In winning the Jules Rimet Trophy for the third time the Brazilian team of 1970 made history in doing so and produced some of the most breath-taking football ever seem. Arguably `the team of the century,` Marion Zagalo`s Brazilians defeated Italy 4-1 in the World Cup final played at the Azteca Stadium, Mexico City, on 21st June 1970.
