The teammates who helped make Pele great, from Garrincha with Brazil to Santos 'Dream Attack'

Brazil never lost a match with Garrincha and Pelé. Alongside Dorval, Mengálvio, Coutinho and Pepe, "O Rei" built one of the most famous
and powerful attacks in football history.

"With Garrincha and Pele, Brazil begins this Tuesday, July 12, 1966, its run in search of a third World Cup."

That's how Brazil's papers opened their coverage of the Selecao at the 1966 World Cup in England. The writers could not even imagine that Brazil's match against Bulgaria at Goodison Park in Liverpool would also be the final game that the pair played together with the national team.
