We`ll play football together in the sky: Pele

Brazilian football great Pele has mourned his fellow legend Diego Maradona after the Argentine died Wednesday aged 60, 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, 80, 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."
