Neymar has claimed 10 was "just a number" before Pele as he paid tribute to his late compatriot.
The legendary figure has died at the age of 82 after a lengthy battle with colon cancer. Pele transcended the game of football, but nowhere felt it more than his native Brazil. Pele's role in their three World Cup triumphs - in 1958, 1962 and 1970 - helped him establish himself as arguably the greatest player in history.
Pele has remained the standard that all young Brazilians aim to match. The likes of Ronaldo, Romario and Ronaldinho have all idolised the icon and Neymar is the latest to follow in his footsteps - wearing the No 10 at the recent World Cup.
