Pele, whose full name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento, is widely considered one of the greatest footballers of all time. He spent his entire career with Santos in his native Brazil, retiring in 1974, before a brief stint at New York Cosmos. During his career, he claimed to have scored 1,025 goals and backed Mbappe to do the same, not that the current star of football holds much hope of reaching the milestone.“I think that even if we count the goals on inter-city pitches and goals on the PlayStation, I won’t be able to reach the 1,000-goal mark!” he said.As well as three World Cup successes, Pele scored more than 1,000 goals in his career2

It is not the first time there have been concerns about his health.
