Ronaldo believes the burden of being the best player on the planet caused him to have a seizure before the 1998 World Cup final.
The iconic forward was the reigning Ballon d'Or holder heading into the showpiece event between Brazil and France. He had just scored 34 goals in his debut season at Inter Milan and found the net 47 times during the 1996-97 campaign at ex-club Barcelona.
Ronaldo also played a vital role in helping Brazil reach the 1998 final against the host nation - scoring four goals and providing three assists during the tournament - and was the country's great hope heading into the momentous occasion due to his lofty reputation.
