Euro 2016: It Good to Have The Two Legends Around


Football legends and rivals Diego Maradona and Pele buried their differences on Thursday for a promotional event in Paris prior to the European Championships. Dubbed "The Friendship Game," the event featured a five-on-five match with several legends of the sport taking part, including former France striker David Trezeguet, Italy goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi and Dutch midfielder Clarence
Seedorf. The 75-year-old Pele, still recovering from a hip operation in January, remained in his coaching role on the touchline and did not play. But Maradona, 55, thrilled the crowd at the Palais Royal with a cameo appearance in the 30-minute contest. "No more fighting," Maradona said as the two greats embraced. "I want to thank Pele, we know who he is and who he will always be. We need icons like him." Pele, a three-time world champion, also struck a conciliatory tone in response.
