The eternal debate: How many goals did Pelé score?

While the world mourns Pelé's death, there is a question that people are constantly asking: How many goals did Pelé score throughout his career?

The answer is not easy and will depend on who is answering it. 

Since his irruption in the game in the 1958 World Cup, Pelé promptly showed the globe he was a goal-scoring machine and the image of him jumping with a fist into the air became iconic. The problem? Stats at the time were not as developed as today, so the counting was not as precise as today.

El mundo del fútbol se despide de Pelé

Una vez que la muerte de Pelé fuera confirmada por una de sus hijas, el mundo del fútbol se volcó a las redes sociales para rendir tributo a O Rei, para muchos el mejor futbolista de todos los tiempos.

Hasta siempre, Pelé: El rey del fútbol ha muerto

Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé, ha muerto hoy a los 82 años.

Para muchos, O Rei fue el mejor jugador en la historia del fútbol, por lo que su partida deja un legado difícil de borrar entre quienes aman el deporte.

Pelé alcanzó la fama apenas con 17 años, al convertirse en una de las estrellas con que Brasil obtuvo el Mundial de 1958. Y de ahí en adelante seguiría escribiendo historia con letras doradas.

Brazilian soccer legend Pelé is expected to pass away soon. His family gathered around him at the Albert Einstein hospital in São Paulo earlier this week as he struggles with his battle against cancer. 

Doctors from the hospital said that Pelé’s cancer had advanced and that he’s under “elevated care” related to “kidney and cardiac dysfunctions.”

Brazilian soccer legend Pele's cancer has advanced and he requires care related to renal and cardiac dysfunction, according to a medical report, and his family said he would remain in a Sao Paulo hospital over Christmas.

Widely considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, the 82-year-old has been hospitalized in the Albert Einstein hospital since late November as doctors reevaluate his treatment and tend to a respiratory infection.

Pele has received regular medical treatment since a tumor was removed from his colon in September last year.

The 10 best assists at the 2022 World Cup

Assists are often overlooked in favor of their more flashy and prominent neighbor, the goal. In many ways, they require more technique and ability than scoring a goal because finding the goal is easy. Knowing where to place a ball to find a teammate while avoiding defenders and keepers, and actually having the technical ability to do it, requires a soccer mind of the highest order. One of the greats, Andrea Pirlo, famously said, "Football is played with the head. Your feet are just tools."
