Ronaldo's Redemption


The haircut that shocked the World Cup

In 2002, Ronaldo shocked the world with more than just his football skills—he unveiled a funny triangular haircut that became legendary. Facing constant scrutiny over his knee injury, Ronaldo used the haircut to distract the media and shift the focus away from his fitness issues.

With the press fixated on his new look, Ronaldo was free to focus on his game. And it worked. He led Brazil to victory, scoring twice in the final against Germany, securing the World Cup, and completing a remarkable comeback story.
