The end of Pele Era. Pele, though 30, was still outstanding and exciting. Plus he had gifted teamates like Jairzinho, Carlos Alberto, Tostao and Garson. They defeated Peru 4-2 In Quarterfinals and Uruguay 3-1 in Semifinals. Brazil faced defensive minded Italy in the Finals but it didn't matter they were in the attack mode the whole game and the outcome was rewarding 4-1 Brazil. For wining the world title 3 times Brazil was awarded permanent possession of Jules Rimet Cup.

Captain Carlos Alberto celebrates with the trophy

Brazil's World Cup winning team of 1970. Back row from left: Carlos Alberto, Felix, Piazza, Brito, Clodoaldo and Everaldo. Front row from left: Jairzinho, Gerson, Tostao, Pelé and Rivelino.

Pelé crashes into the goalpost after his effort went inches wide a second earlier. The three other players are from left: Rosato, Tostao and Burgnich.

The quarterfinal in Leon was a replay of the final four years earlier, but this time West Germany emerged victoriously in extra-time. Geoff Hurst (far left) dives in, but a German defender manage to clear the ball away in front of goalkeeper Sepp Maier.
