The world of soccer has lost a legend.
Pelé, born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, has died at the age of 82 on Dec. 29.
His daughter, Kely Nascimento, confirmed their family’s loss in a heartbreaking tribute. “Everything we are is because of you,” she wrote alongside a photo of hands surrounding the athlete shared to Instagram. “We love you infinitely. Rest in peace.”
