CAFU sent Twitter into meltdown with picture of himself alongside football legends, reminiscent of Ellen DeGeneres' famous "Oscar selfie" from 2014.
The two-time World Cup-winner was in Moscow for the World Cup draw, alongside other greats of the game.
And he appeared the most delighted man in the Kremlin as he smiled throughout what many considered a tedious event — and posted several enthusiastic pictures in the build up.
Beforehand, he tweeted a picture of some footballing royalty who were on hand to help map out the 32 groups, alongside the caption: "Backstage."
There were a staggering 11 World Cup-winner's medals among the group — with three Brazilians.
Complete with a beaming smile, Cafu was in the middle with, from left to right, Jay-Jay Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu, Ronaldo, Gordon Banks, Laurent Blanc, Peter Schmeichel, Lothar Matthaus, Fabio Cannavaro and Miroslav Klose.
The legends were huddled around Brazil icon Pele.
Cafu is the only man to play in three World Cup finals in a row, winning in 1994 and 2002 — as captain — but losing out to France in the 1998 showpiece.
Ronaldo was in the same Brazil side for the 1998 and 2002 tournaments, winning the Golden Boot in the latter.

Banks, of course, won his medal in 1966, while Blanc was on the winning side in 1998, despite being suspended for the final.
Matthaus in 1990 and Cannavaro in 2006 both captained West Germany and Italy to respective World Cup glories, before going onto claim the Ballon d'Or that same year.

And Klose became the tournament's record goal scorer as he helped Germany triumph in 2014.
However, the undisputed king was Pele, who won it on a three occasions.
Argentina hero Diego Maradona, who single-handedly led them to success in 1986, was also present, though not in the picture.
