Brazilian legend Pele hailed Marta as “much more than a footballer” and an “inspiration” after she scored in a fifth Olympic Games on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old scored twice as Brazil opened their Tokyo Olympics campaign with a 5-0 rout of China. Marta became the first player to score in five straight Olympics when Brazil beat China 5-0 on Wednesday in the women’s football tournament. A six-time FIFA Player of the Year, Marta has 111 international goals, more than any Brazilian player, male or female.
“I hope you’re dreaming about what you did a few hours ago. Speaking of which, how many dreams do you think you inspired today?” wrote Pele on Instagram.
