Rogério Mücke Ceni, a Brazilian football manager and former player who is currently the manager of So Paulo FC, is regarded as one of the all-time greatest Brazilian goalkeepers and is recognized by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics as the goalkeeper with the most goals in football history.

Ceni spent the majority of his 25-year professional career (1257 professional club matches) with So Paulo, where he won 20 major titles, including three Brazilian Leagues, two Copa Libertadores, and the 2005 FIFA Club World Cup. During his career, he also scored 131 goals, the majority of which came from free kicks and penalties, with one coming from open play.

To commemorate breaking the club's appearance record, Brazilian goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni wore the number 618 before Sao Paulo's match against Atletico Mineiro in 2005. Ceni went on to make 1,237 appearances for Sao Paulo, scoring 131 goals (a world record for a goalkeeper), and is now the club's manager.

Ceni also represented Brazil 18 times during his career, including squads that won the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup, as well as the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

There are few sights more beautiful in football than seeing Erling Haaland put the ball in the back of the net.

He has earned a reputation as one of the world's most potent strikers after scoring 86 goals in 89 games in two and a half seasons with Borussia Dortmund, winning the German Cup and the Bundesliga Player of the Season award in 2020/21.
