Pele was supported by the players and fans of Brazil

At the end of the match, Neymar took the banner with the image and name of Pele onto the field, where all the Selecao players joined.

The fans did not forget him either, publishing several messages of support for the most beloved Brazilian football player.

Pele is hospitalized, and his health is not reliable. Although it was speculated that he was no longer responding to treatment and was in palliative care, his daughters denied this, saying it was a recovery from the COVID-19 infection.
