In honor of his football jersey and the no. 9 shirt he loved wearing and of course a father to many and loved by his country.

He was buried yesterday at the Ecumenical Necropolis memorial. This decision was made 20 years ago back in the year 2003.

The burial was conducted on Tuesday, after the football hero Pele had died on December 29.

The private ceremony for loved ones was ongoing after the Monday 24-hours wake at the Vila Belmiro.

The Brazilian international, 20 years ago bought the place where he will be resting forever. And he decided he will be occupying the 9th floor in honor of his father who wore the number 9 shirt while he was still playing football.

They both will reunite in their bosoms and rest and they will forever remembered by their country and fans all over the world for their contributions and everything they did while on the pitch.

Away from that now, we quickly go through the match that took place in the English premier league between arsenal and Newcastle united.

Arsenal were frustrated by Newcastle at the Emirates stadium as they both went home with one point each with a tough display.

The Gunner's were hopping to extend their lead on the top of the table as they were leading 7 points clear from the title defenders Manchester city.

They thought they could have made 10 points clear but yet disappointed after Newcastle united gave them a game of chance.

Of course joelinton, Nick Pope and Gabriel matineli made great impact in the game as well.

That's all I have to drop in for today but another great game to come today as Manchester city takes on Chelsea live in the world of football.

Don't miss it 🔥🔥.
