Spectacles, packed stadiums, a festive atmosphere and some excellent football. All that and much more was on display at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, which many consider the best in history despite the heat and the altitude. Brazil put on a true masterclass in skill and creativity with a team led by Mario Lobo Zagallo, featuring giants such as Pele, Gerson, Jairzinho, Rivelino and Carlos Alberto. They did not lose a single match and scored 19 goals. (Photo by AFP via Getty Images)
