When seeing the tribute of the green and yellow selection to Pelé, who is gravely ill with cancer, he sarcastically said, "How nice of Brazil to pay homage to their idol!". The Argentinian team didn't forget about Diego and remembered him in front of Mexico.
The Qatar World Cup was shaken a few days ago by the news of the seriousness of Edson Arantes Do Nascimento, Pelé, who is suffering from cancer. That's why today the Brazilian National Team came out with a huge tribute sign to 'O rei' before their match against South Korea, which they won 4-1. This did not go unnoticed by Gianinna Maradona, one of Diego Maradona's daughters, who ironically wrote on Instagram: "How nice of Brazil to pay homage to their idol!"

The occasion could not have been more surprising. Pelé has almost been given up on by doctors, as he did not respond to chemotherapy for the intestinal cancer he is suffering. He only awaits a miracle, and doctors have sent him home.
