Many messages of condolence from the sports world but not only. Daughter Kelly: “All that we are is because of you. We love you infinitely. Rest in peace”
The reactions to Pelé’s death were immediate and numerous, as it may be logical. The most touching message is certainly that of his daughter Kely: “All that we are is thanks to you. We love you infinitely. Rest in peace”. The announcement of the death also came directly from the Brazilian’s Twitter account.
One of the very first on social media to bid farewell to O’Rei was Franco Baresi, red and black flag: “Goodbye to @Pele will always remain in the memory, stronger than the time. Icon and legend in the RIP world”. In England O’Rei’s memory will take place with Wembley illuminated with the colors of Brazil. Furthermore, many leagues have already announced a minute’s silence for the next championship day. The family then asked Santos to retire the number ten shirt.
Even the prime minister Giorgia Meloni spoke on Twitter: “Thanks to his talent and his class, he managed to leave his mark even in the generations who were not lucky enough to see him play. Today the whole world mourns a legend named Pelè “.

I remember him when he came to Cagliari in 1972 with Santos”. “I am particularly sorry for this serious loss for the world of football, which is a little poorer from today. A unique champion leaves us, the greatest of his time and together with Maradona, the greatest ever – goodbye to Pelé by Dino Zoff – We met and hugged several times.

He can have no heirs because Pelé was unique. But what are considered four of the greatest players of this era paid tribute to O’Rei. His compatriot Neymar remembers it like this: “Before Pelé, 10 was just a number. I read that sentence somewhere, at a certain point in my life. But that sentence, beautiful, is incomplete. I would say that before Pelé the football was just a sport. Pele changed everything. He transformed football into art, into entertainment. He gave a voice to the poor, to blacks and above all he gave visibility to Brazil. Football and Brazil raised their status thanks to the King He’s gone, but his magic will remain. Pele is ETERNAL!!”
This is Mbappé’s message: “The king of football has left us but his legacy will never be forgotten. Rip Re”. And then Cristiano Ronaldo: “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 pain that currently embraces the world of football. An inspiration to so many millions, a reference yesterday, today, forever. The affection he has always shown for me has been mutual in every shared moment, even at a distance. It will never be forgotten and his memory will live on forever in all of us football lovers. Rest in peace, King Pele.” And then Leo Messi, simple and direct: “Rest in peace Pele”.

He will be greatly missed. On behalf of the European football community, rest in peace, Pelé.”
“Unfortunately the news has arrived and this time a piece of football has died, if not football. He and Maradona have brought prestige to their respective national teams and have brought the spectacle of football all over the world: they are the spectacle.
