The 2022 Qatar World Cup marks twenty years since Brazil last won football's greatest prize.
The five-time world champions will again start this year's tournament as one of the favourites to lift the famous cup, despite Europe's dominance over South America over the last two decades.
After the humiliating 7-1 defeat to Germany on home soil in 2014 - a day of shame now known as the Mineirazo - Brazil were again out-classed by Belgium at the 2018 Russia World Cup where they crashed out in the quarter-finals.
Doubts still linger over whether Brazil can match the top European countries, or indeed, bitter rivals Argentina who pipped them in last year's Copa America final, again on home soil.
But Brazil will touchdown in Qatar with a squad packed with an embarrassment of attacking riches, after having qualified unbeaten and in top place in the South American heat, winning 14 out of 17 games.
A lot has changed since that dark day in Belo Horizonte in 2014 where Brazil were humbled in front of their own fans. And there are two men largely responsible for this break from their recent past.
In 2016, coach Tite took over the Brazilian national team and has spent the last six years crafting a new, modern Brazil that combines the best of their silky talents with a hardened tactical edge.

Neymar missed Brazil's 7-1 mauling to Germany eight years ago, but is now "a more mature player," according to his manager Tite.
If Brazil are to finish this year with a record sixth World Cup, getting the best out of Neymar and Brazil's many attacking talents will be key.
In Tite's final tournament as Brazil manager, he knows what it would mean for Brazil to end their twenty years of hurt and, in the process, restore the battered pride and reputation of the Selecao's jogo bonito.
