Star Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo posted a touching post on his Instagram after the death of the King of Football Pele:
“My deepest condolences to all of Brazil and in particular to the family of Mr. Edson Arantes do Nascimento. A simple “goodbye” to the eternal king Pele will not be enough to express the pain that covers the entire football world at this moment.
An inspiration for so many millions, a benchmark yesterday, today, always. The affection he always showed for me was mutual in every moment we shared, even at a distance.
He will never be forgotten, and his memory will live forever in each of us, football fans. Rest in peace King Pele,” Ronaldo tweeted.
Today, December 29, the famous Brazilian footballer Pele died at the age of 82. Pele is the only player in history to have won the World Cup three times as a player (in 1958, 1962 and 1970).
