Farewell Pelé, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo say goodbye

The world wanted to say goodbye to O Rei at its best.

So many messages of love for Brazilian soccer star Pelé, who passed away at the age of 82. “Rest in peace,” Messi’s post, accompanied by photos together with the great O Rei. “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 Pelé will never be enough to express the grief that currently embraces the entire soccer world. An inspiration to so many millions, a reference from yesterday, today, forever. The affection he always showed for me was mutual in every moment we shared, even from a distance. He will never be forgotten and his memory will live forever in each of us soccer lovers. Rest in peace, King Pelé,” CR7’s heartfelt post.

Mbappé, a symbol of the new generation, has no doubts: “The king of soccer has left us but his legacy will never be forgotten. Rip Re.” There is also Haaland’s message, “Everything you see a player do, Pelé did first. Rest in peace.”
