Although Kylian Mbappé did not share many moments with Pelé, the French forward developed a great affection for him, due to what the Brazilian footballer did in the past, being the player with the most World Cups won (3 World Cups).
After Pelé's death was confirmed, the PSG forward did not hesitate to express his condolences through social media. "The king of football has left us but his legacy will never be forgotten. RIP KING".
The day Pelé and Maradona played together on a television set
The lifelong discussion in football has been and will be about who was better: Diego Maradona or Pelé? And despite the comparisons, both had a cordial relationship, without the need to be friends, so much so that they played together on a television set.
One of the scenes of both together that will remain in eternity was when, in an interview with Diego, Pelé said on live television: "My dream is to head the ball with you", to which Pelé replied: "Shall we do it?"
As they started playing, coordination and happiness could be seen in both, to the point that the Brazilian said: "When are we going to stop?"
At the end of the game, both embraced each other and received applause from everyone present. This image will undoubtedly remain in the memory of everyone who was able to witness that moment.
