Rodrygo Goes left Brazil ahead of his Real Madrid debut on Tuesday, having received Pele’s blessing.

The Brazilian superstar Pele is someone Rodrygo looks up to; the two met before Rodrygo relocated to Los Blancos to send him well wishes.

“Today has been an extraordinarily special day,” wrote Rodrygo.

I came to realize that King Pele was the greatest of all time after receiving his benediction. 

How unassuming.”I will always remember this day; I am grateful to God for making my dream come true.”
