The figures say goodbye to Pelé
Neymar Jr.
One of the first to upload a post on Pelé’s death to Instagram was Neymar Jr., the greatest figure in the Brazilian National Team today.
“Before Pele, 10 was just a number. I’ve read this sentence somewhere, at some point in my life. But this beautiful sentence is incomplete. I would say that before Pelé, football was just a sport. Pelé has changed everything. He turned football into art, into entertainment. He gave voice to the poorblacks and especially gave visibility to Brazil. Soccer and Brazil have elevated their status thanks to the King! It is gone but its magic remains. Pelé is FOREVER!!”, said the Paris Saint Germain player.

The Argentine star, Lionel Messi, also published a photo with the Brazilian idol on the networks and simply wrote: “Rest in peace, Pele.”
Cristiano Ronaldo
Another of the greatest references of this time, Cristiano Ronaldo referred to the death of the three-time world champion and dedicated a few words of gratitude to him: “The love you always showed me was reciprocated in every moment we shared, even from a distance. He will never be forgotten and his memory will live forever in each and every one of us football lovers.. Rest in peace King Pele.”
