The historic rivalry between Brazil and Argentina has taken on another dimension during the World Cup, as Brazilian fans have drawn attention with a giant and provocative banner unfurled in Philadelphia.
Selecao supporters have gathered in the American city, where Brazil will play its second group match against Haiti. The festive atmosphere created by the fans' songs and chants has been accompanied by a choreography that has immediately made the rounds on social media.
At the center of attention is a satirical banner featuring three of the greatest figures in football history: Pele, Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi. In the illustration, Brazilian legend Pele is shown sitting on a royal throne, while the two Argentine icons are shown in submissive positions to him.

According to the image, Lionel Messi is seen kneeling kissing Pele's foot, while Diego Maradona appears next to him, refreshing him with a palm leaf, a traditional symbol of royal figures.
Through this banner, Brazilian fans have chosen to convey their message on the ongoing debate about the greatest player in football history. The choreography has been interpreted as a clear statement in favor of Pele, reigniting discussions between fans of the two rival countries on the famous issue of the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time).
The banner has sparked numerous reactions on social media, with many users describing it as a display of humor and sporting rivalry, while others have considered it a provocation towards Argentine fans.
