Cristiano Ronaldo called the deceased Pele an inspiration for hundreds of thousands of people
Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo reacted to the death of three-time world champion Pelé. He posted on Instagram (the social network is banned in the Russian Federation; it belongs to the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in Russia and banned).
“A simple word goodbye to the eternal King will never be enough to express what the entire football world is going through at this moment,” wrote Ronaldo under a photo with Pele. The Portuguese called him an inspiration for hundreds of thousands of people and noted that the memory of him will forever remain in the memory of every football fan.
The death of Pele became known earlier on December 29. This was reported by his daughter Keli Nascimentu.
On November 30, it was reported that Pele, who had previously undergone surgery to remove a tumor in his colon, was admitted to the hospital with a general swelling of the body. The Brazilian was diagnosed with heart failure and marked confusion.
Pelé is a three-time World Cup Champion with Brazil. In 1999, the International Olympic Committee recognized the Brazilian as the athlete of the century.
