FOOTBALL: WORLD CUP GOALSCORERS

I was checking out some sportshoes with uncle last night when I saw the Ronaldinho Barcelona and Brazil jerseys again. I was asking myself which should I buy. I want to buy the Barcelona version. Anyway, do you guys know that only when you get at least 3 Champions League trophies in your club history that you can have the logo on your sleeves to indicate the amount you have? I didn't know this until the shop salesmen told me. That means Barcelona won't have it because they only have 2. Here, take a look at the World Cup top scorers in history.
