In his prime, Romário is outraged to discover that he will be left on the bench for a friendly match between Brazil and Germany. The coaching staff's response sparks an unprecedented crisis for the Brazilian national team.

Romário's self-confidence makes the Brazilian national team coach feel threatened and he's withdrawn from the team. While Brazil faces the toughest World Cup Qualifiers in its history, Romário makes his debut at the world's best team.

Amid social chaos for the first time the Brazilian national team is at risk of not qualifying for the World Cup. The country is wounded and cries out for Romário in the greatest commotion in Brazilian history surrounding a footballer.

Neglected in other tournaments, the 1994 FIFA World Cup allows Romário to finally play to his full potential. He trains like never before, while the weight of the 24 years without a trophy haunts the entire Brazilian national team.

Through memorable matches, Romário leads Brazil to the final against Italy, a match in which two three-time champions compete for a historic title, and where Romário will have to face a formidable antagonist: Roberto Baggio.
