"He's gone but his magic remains", said the Brazilian footballer after the death of his friend and mentor.
The world remembers the only player to have won the World Cup three times as a result of the death of Brazil's football legend.
The man who is Brazil's joint- highest scorer in men's international football, with 77 goals, posted an emotional message after the death of his hero.
He's gone, but his magic is still going strong. "Pel is forever," wrote the footballer on his social media accounts.
Pel football was just a sport. Pelé has changed the way things are done. He turned football into something else.
The Wembley arch and the statue of Jesus Christ were both lit up in the colors of Brazil on Thursday night to honor the legendary soccer player.
Thememory will live forever in each and every one of us.
A mere "goodbye" to the eternal King Pel will never be enough to express the pain that the entire football world is currently embracing.

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe paid their respects to a legend.
The king of football has died, but his legacy will never be forgotten. It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to King.
" Rest in peace, Pele" was written on the back of Messi's shirt.
Less than two weeks ago, Pele offered his support to France forward Kylian Mbappe after he failed to score a hat-trick in the World Cup.
Football continues to tell its story in an interesting way.
Messi won his first World Cup. He scored four goals in a final. It was a great gift to see this spectacle.
The World Cup winner with Brazil in 2002 says that we are the greatest of all time.
He wrote that it was a privilege to come after him.
Every player should attend your school. His legacy is not limited to a certain age group. That is how you will live on. We will celebrate you every single day. Thank you for your kind words. Rest easy.
He said that Pel Pé stayed where he arrived. He has never left the top. One is the king of football. It's the greatest of all time.
The first player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final when England lifted the trophy in 1966 is said to be the greatest ever.
During the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, England lost to Brazil in the group stages and that has had a long-term impact on the former West ham player.
He said that Bobby Moore was the best footballer he ever played with, and that he had many memories of the best footballer he had ever played against.
I was proud to be on the pitch with the greatest player of all time, and that's me. Thank you for your kindness, I am sad.

Martin Tyler is a football commentator for Sky Sports.
He thinks that he is the greatest player of all time. I was one of the first people to put the English voice on a VHS of his Brazil career and his 1000 goals.
The video proved that he was really good. It was a pleasure to honor a man who could do more than score goals.
He will always be remembered for his ability to score amazing goals in bad conditions, when players had more freedom to stop him. He was irresistibly attractive.
He will always be the greatest, and in the football world he is.
