Tributes pour in after Pele passes away, aged 82
Neymar shares Brazil all-time scoring record with Pele 
Thiago Silva, Casemiro and Richarlison also salute 'king of football'
Neymar lauded Pele for turning "football into art" and changing the face of the sport, as he led tributes from modern-day Brazil stars to the Selecao legend.

Thiago Silva, Casemiro and Richarlison are among the Brazil players who have also saluted Pele with heartfelt messages following his death on Thursday at the age of 82.

Neymar – who shares Brazil’s all-time goalscoring record with Pele – hailed one of the game’s greatest-ever players for leaving a lasting impact which transcended football.

"Before Pele, 10 was just a number. I've read this phrase somewhere, at some point in my life. But this sentence, beautiful, is incomplete," Neymar wrote on social media.

"I would say before Pele, football was just a sport. Pele has changed it all. He turned football into art, into entertainment. Gave voice to the poor, blacks and mostly: gave visibility to Brazil. Soccer and Brazil have raised their status thanks to the King! He's gone but his magic remains. Pele is FOREVER!!"

A farewell to Pele: The king of the World Cup
Following the passing of the legendary former Brazil international, FIFA+ pays tribute to one of the game's all-time greats.
Brazil defender Thiago Silva described three-time FIFA World Cup™ winner Pele as "forever the king of football".

“Rest in peace, Pele,” he added. “You have changed the history of football. Your legacy will always be in our hearts. Thanks for everything!"

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro echoed Silva’s sentiments

"Rest in peace, king Pele. Thank you for the glory you gave to Brazil and football. Your legacy is eternal," he wrote on social media.

Legendary Pelé | Remix
From best footballer in the world straight to legend: nothing too difficult for Pelé at Mexico 1970.
Casemiro's Brazil United teammate Antony labelled Pele as an "example", posting: "The biggest of all! The king, the inspiration, the example, the only one, the ETERNAL!!"

Pele's 77-goal international haul remains a benchmark for Brazil, with Neymar equalling that record with his Qatar 2022 quarter-final strike against Croatia. Pele’s extraordinary exploits have inspired several current Brazil stars, with Real Madrid forward Rodrygo recalling the tales told of the former Santos forward.

He wrote on Twitter: "What a sadness! 12/29 from today will always become a sad date. We grew up in Santos hearing people talk about you every day, how good you were at playing and as a person. Thank God I had the opportunity to meet you in person…"

The King of Football
The glittering FIFA World Cup career of the late, great Pelé - still the youngest scorer and youngest winner of the global showpiece.
Richarlison added: "Today, football says goodbye to its most beautiful chapter. From the guy who dedicated his thousandth goal to children, stopped wars and showed an entire country that he could do more. You are and always will be matchless and eternal, King. Thank you and may God welcome you with open arms."

full time...😍
Argentina vs Saudi Arabia Highlights FIFA World Cup 2022: who would have thought this result? Argentina, the 3-ranked side in FIFA rankings, with Lionel Messi in their side, and touted as the tournament favourites, have been completely stunned by 51-ranked Saudi Arabia. And all it took the Green Flacons were just five minutes of brilliance in the second half. Messi converted the penalty in the 10th minute before Argentina were disallowed three goals for offside all in the first half. Three minutes into the second half, Saleh Al-Shehri levelled the score before a stunner from Salem Al-Dawsari put Saudi ahead. They were on point with their defense, denying Argentina any further opportunities as they sailed to a memorable 2-1 win.😊
