It wasn't the Azteca, the Mexican stadium that surprised Pelé the most

The soccer world is mourning the departure of Brazilian legend Pelé. The 82-year-old player lost his battle with a degenerative disease that had been dragging him down for a long time. The soccer player has established himself as one of the greatest in history and curiously, in Mexico he had one of the most important moments of his career.

Pele and the Brazilian national team were crowned in the 1970 World Cup, where they defeated Italy 4-0 in the final held at the Azteca stadium. The legendary stadium has meant a lot to the Brazilian's career. However, despite what many argue, it is not the stadium that has surprised the player the most.
