I Hope We Can Play in The Sky- Pele Mourns Diego Maradona
Category: Sports News
Brazilian football great Pele has mourned his fellow legend Diego Maradona who
died at the age of 60 today.
Renowned alongside Pele as one of the greatest footballers of all time, the Argentine World Cup-winning captain died of a heart attack, having undergone brain surgery earlier this month.
“What sad news. I lost a great friend and the world lost a legend. There is still much to be said, but for now, may God give strength to family members.
“One day, I hope we can play football together in the sky,” 80-year-old Pele wrote in Portuguese on Twitter.
President Alberto Fernandez has announced three days of national mourning in the South American country.
“There are four ambulances at the door of the residence. They have summoned family members to come. It is serious,” the TyC Sports channel reported.
