De voetbalwereld is in rouw na het overlijden van de Braziliaanse voetballegende Pelé (82). Het was al langer bekend dat het niet goed ging met de drievoudig wereldkampioen en donderdagavond werd het onvermijdelijke nieuws helaas officieel gecommuniceerd. Clubs, (voormalig) spelers en journalisten reageren geschokt.

Een greep uit de Twitter-reacties:

A inspiração e o amor marcaram a jornada de Rei Pelé, que faleceu no dia de hoje.

Amor, amor e amor, para sempre.
.
Inspiration and love marked the journey of King Pelé, who peacefully passed away today.

Love, love and love, forever. pic.twitter.com/CP9syIdL3i
