‘I Hope We’ll Play Soccer Together In The Sky’ — Pele Reacts To Maradona's Death by Gemid94(m): 7:13pm On Nov 25, 2020
Brazilian football great Pele mourned his fellow legend Diego Maradona after the Argentine died Wednesday, saying he hoped they would “play together in the sky” one day.

“Sad news today. I have lost a dear friend, and the world has lost a legend,” Pele wrote on Instagram, alongside a picture of Maradona hoisting the World Cup trophy in 1986.

“There is much more to say, but for now may God give his family strength. One day, I hope, we will play soccer together in the sky.”

Pele and Maradona, who often vie for the title of best footballer in history, had just celebrated milestone birthdays last month: 80 and 60, respectively.

Pele had wished Maradona well on his birthday on October 30, writing, “May your journey be long and may you always smile, and make me smile, too!”

Maradona had likewise congratulated Pele on his 80th a week before, joining in what he called “the universal tribute to the King.”

The Brazilian and Argentine were jointly named best player of the 20th century by FIFA in 2000.

That's impossible...One of the finest football players is gone but guess what, he will always be remembered. What will you be remembered for? A question for all.

Condolences to the Family of Diego Maradona..

Maradona Whether he Believed in Christ or not has gone to appear befor the KING of kings, JESUS Christ.
Name, Profession, religion,reputation or Pocket rate does not Matter on that side..

What Matters there is if You Accepted JESUS Christ as your LORD and SAVIOR.

Lets be guided so we don't end up chasing winds here on Earth.

Eternity is Real Folks!
It's all about JESUS and JESUS ALONE!
