As previously reported, the three-time world champion Pelé has passed away. The global football community mourns the death of the king of football.
Legendary figures Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, and Neymar have also paid tribute to Pelé:
“Rest in peace, Pelé,” Messi wrote, sharing photos with Pelé.
Ronaldo also expressed deep condolences to the entire nation of Brazil and the family of Edson Arantes do Nascimento (Pelé). “Simply ‘goodbye’ to the eternal king Pelé. It is impossible to express the pain felt by the entire football world right now. The warmth he always showed me was mutual. He will never be forgotten, and his memory will live on in each of us, in the football fans. Rest in peace, king,” Ronaldo stated.
Kylian Mbappé shared his condolences: “The king of football has left us, but his legacy will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.”
Neymar Jr. wrote, “Until Pelé, 10 was just a number. Until Pelé, football was just a sport. He turned football into art and entertainment. He gave a voice to the poor, to the black people, and made the whole world know about Brazil. He’s gone, but his magic remains. Pelé is forever.”
