It was pretty much obvious he wouldn’t be able to hold on the pain for so long, although his family is known for longevity (his mother is 100 years old). He wasn’t responding to chemotherapy, and a fake news ran on about his death. Yet, it’s still unbelievable that he won’t be with us anymore. Unfortunately, he passed away, but now he’s playing on the Heaven with Maradona 🖤

How did Pele win 7 Ballon Dors? Until recently, South American Players could not win the Ballon Dor. Otherwise, great quiz. It's a shame he passed away.

Thank you for your condolences. And this was until 2007. France Football reviewed the list of awarded footballers in 2014, and he became the most winner of the Ballon D'Or along with Messi, being awarded in 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1963, 1965 and 1970.
