Brazil at the World Cup is like Real Madrid in the Champions League, a statement that the Selecao will have to confirm in Qatar in 2022.
It is said that the Brazilian national team's success in the World Cup finals is similar to Real Madrid's success in the Champions League, where each of them holds the record for the most world or continental titles.
The Seleçao has won the World Cup title the most times, five, while the Royal Club is the most successful club with 14 titles.
And the Brazilian national team gained fame and overwhelming popularity around the world due to its outstanding presence in the World Cup before any other tournament. Similarly, Real Madrid gained fame through its results and achievements in the Champions League competition, as well as its superiority over other European clubs in the Spanish League or the King's Cup.
Real Madrid exemplified its continental dominance by winning the title three times in a row between 2016 and 2018, shortening its wait after winning the European title.
The Brazilian national team must exploit the neutral ground factor at the 2022 Qatar tournament to embody their superiority over the other teams when it comes to the World Cup title, suspending the sixth world star and preventing Germany from joining them after winning the title four times.
And the Selecao has failed to win the world's most expensive title in four consecutive tournaments, that is, since winning the 2022 World Cup in Korea and Japan. In those tournaments, it did not even manage to reach the final round, including the 2014 edition, when it benefited from the ground workers and the crowd, leaving the initiative to the European teams.
The Selecao started the competition in Qatar strongly with a deserved victory over the Serbian national team with two clean goals, presenting an offer that matches their status and value as a candidate to win the title.
According to observers, the strong showing against Serbia is a clear and strong indication of the Selecao's intentions to fight for and win the World Cup crown in a year known as the crowning achievement of Real Madrid's Champions League title, with the feet of a Brazilian player playing the World Cup with the Selecao.
