“Today football continued to write its story, as always, in a passionate way. The victory of the first World Cup by @leomessi, how he deserved it for his trajectory”, wrote Edson Arantes, (82), on his Instagram page from the hospital in Sao Paulo where he has been hospitalized for three weeks, although his health It’s better.

He is the only person on the planet who has won three World Cups (1958, 1962 and 1970) who has congratulated Argentina on their third World Cup victory, after Mario Kempes lifted the trophy in 1978 and Diego Armando Maradona, who died two years ago, in 1986

“Diego, I’m sure he’s smiling now,” added Pele, who is battling colon cancer, which he discovered in September last year.

Pele did not forget without mentioning the “extraordinary performance” of Morocco, which became the first African team to reach the semi-finals, where it was eliminated by the reigning champion, France.
