Episode 1 — Ronaldo: The Comeback King


Ronaldo Nazário was 24, a World Cup winner, and the most feared striker alive. Then his knee exploded. Twice.


Doctors doubted him. Pundits wrote him off. The world moved on.


But Ronaldo chose the harder path — silent gyms, lonely rehab, small ugly steps forward while everyone watched and waited.


From career-ending injuries to scoring twice in the 2002 World Cup final, Ronaldo's comeback is the greatest redemption story in football — and a blueprint for anyone who's been counted out.


Hosted by Marco Silva.
