Pele played an integral role in three of Brazil&rsquo;s five World Cup triumphs, but the nation had never tasted Olympic glory prior to Saturday&rsquo;s final meeting with Germany at the Maracana Stadium here.
&ldquo;I have so many memories from Maracana, and today a new one was created. What a perfect ending to the Olympic games,&rdquo; Pele tweeted after the win on Saturday.
