Infantino raises controversy during Pele’s funeral, and the reason is.. “Sylvie”!!

Switzerland’s Gianni Infantino, president of the International Football Federation, came under harsh criticism during his attendance at the funeral of Brazilian legend Pele, who died at the age of 82 after a long battle with cancer, as fans stood a queue more than a kilometer long to greet him in a historical scene.
Infantino sparked controversy when he was seen smiling beside Pele’s coffin as he snapped a “selfie” photo with Lima, Pele’s former Santos teammate, but he quickly responded via Instagram, where he wrote: “I feel horrified upon learning of the criticisms I have received exposed because of these images.” .
He added: “I had the honor of fulfilling a request from some of Pelé’s colleagues and family members to take a picture with me, and of course I agreed immediately, and for the selfie in particular, Pelé’s colleagues asked to do a group photo for us, but they didn’t know how to do it, so I grabbed one of them’s phone and took the photo.” “.
