Pele Threatens Comeback After Mbappe Named 2nd Teen to Score in World Cup Final

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Three-time World Cup winner Pele said that he might consider returning to football after 19-year-old French forward Kylian Mbappe became only the second teenager in history to score in a World Cup final repeating the Brazil legend's feat.

"If Kylian keeps equaling my records like this I may have to dust my boots off again," 77-year-old Pele posted on Twitter.

People always ask me what it's like to play in a World Cup final. Whatever the game, whatever the occasion, you play with passion. // As pessoas sempre me perguntam como é jogar uma final de Copa do Mundo.
