«Pray for the King.» Here is the message published a few days ago by Kylian Mbappé to support Brazilian legend Pelé. Suffering from colon cancer since September 2021, the former star of Santos has, in fact, seen his condition deteriorate in recent hours. This Thursday evening, the triple winner of the World Cup with the Seleção also answered him.
“Thank you, Kylian Mbappé. I’m glad to see you break another of my records in this Cup, my friend.”, declared Pelé in reference to the precocity record broken by the Bondynois. As a reminder, Mbappé now holds the record for the number of goals scored in a World Cup before the age of 24 (9), notably ahead of the Brazilian, author of 7 goals at this stage.
Thank you, @KMbappe. I’m happy to see you breaking another one of my records in this Cup, my friend! ❤️????????
