Pele has sadly died aged 82 after a battle with cancer. The Brazilian legend is regarded by many to be the greatest footballer ever and had won three World Cups by the time he was 30 years old.
He had spent the last three weeks in hospital as doctors re-evaluated his treatment after being diagnosed with colon cancer in September last year. The global icon now stands level with Neymar as Brazil's all-time top goalscorer after netting 77 goals in 92 appearances.
Pele's recent hospitalisation led to an outpouring of support from the football community, with Brazil fans and players holding up tifos and banners wishing him well again at the World Cup earlier this month. Kylian Mbappe and Neymar were also among those who wished the 82-year-old a speedy recovery.
