Soccer - FIFA World Cup 2002 - Final - Germany v Brazil

Cafu, considered by many to be one of the greatest right-backs of all time, represented Brazil in 4 FIFA World Cups (1994, 1998, 2002, 2006) and played in 3 finals (1994, 1998, 2002). He is the only player in World Cup history to have played in 3 different World Cup finals.

Lionel Messi has only ever played in one final for Argentina and Ronaldo has never even made a final with Portugal meaning this is yet another record that the duo will never be able to break.
