'Congratulations. It was a beautiful goal. Keeping dreaming, dreams come true.' Pelé congratulates USMNT’s Tim Weah on his World Cup goal
One of those reactions came from Brazilian legend Pelé, who offered an encouraging message to Weah under his Instagram post commemorating the play.Weah caught wind of the message and responded to the GOAT in kind, writing in a reply:
“Thank you Papa Pele 🌟 It is such a blessing and an honor to receive such an inspiring message from The King himself 🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Thank you for everything you’ve done for the world and for us young black men ✨ Grandes Abraços 🦋.” While some fans may argue that receiving a message from Pelé may overshadow scoring on the world’s biggest stage, Weah certainly now has another reason to remember his unforgettable day.
In addition to making USMNT history, Weah coincidentally became the first player to score against Wales in a World Cup game since Pelé in 1958.
