We were the greatest – Pele

Debate was sparked by Spain’s historic 4-0 win over Italy last weekend to claim the European Championship for the second time in a row to add to their World Cup win in 2010.

“If I was playing, we’d win, no doubt about it,” said Pele.

“As long as they are comparing teams with the 1970s, it is because the 1970s team is better.(The) 1970 (team) is the standard by which others are rated.”
