Brazil legend, Pele, has appreciated Paris St. Germain star, Kylian Mbappe who sent him a goodwill message after he was admitted into a Sao Paulo hospital for a respiratory infection.
Pele after being admitted into the hospital was later moved to palliative care after he stopped responding to the chemotherapy treatment.
There were initial concerns that he was close to death, but his daughters Flavia and Kely Nascimento rubbished the reports, saying he is ‘sick’ but is still supporting Brazil in their bid to win the World Cup.
Again, according to Brazilian publication Globo. Pele is now showing signs of improvements as he is now reportedly showing ‘stable signs’, is ‘conscious’ and is ‘without further complications’.

The tweet was in response to Mbappe’s earlier post, saying: “Pray for the King.”
