Cristiano Ronaldo insists "the entire football world" is in pain after "eternal King" Pele passed away aged 82.
Three-time World Cup winner Pele has passed away following a battle with cancer. He was re-admitted to hospital in November and given palliative care, with his family announcing the sad news on Thursday. Gary Lineker and others have paid tribute to Pele.
Like Ronaldo, Pele is considered as one of the greatest footballers ever to play the beautiful game. The Portugal international, 37, has recognised the Brazilian's profound impact on the sport and has offered his condolences with a moving post on social media.
