In the world of football - a loss. At the age of 86, in France, the football legend of this country Raymond Kopa passed away.
The legendary attacking midfielder recently stepped into the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, where he, along with other past "Ballon d'Or" winners, greeted the best footballer of the past year, Cristiano Ronaldo.
R. Kopa is a true legend of the "Reims" club, but the Frenchman quickly became a legend of this team in Madrid. From 1956 to 1959, the footballer who played for "Real" won the European Cup (current Champions League) three years in a row.
R. Kopa also achieved third place in the 1958 World Cup with the French national team.
During his career, the Frenchman played for the most powerful clubs - both "Real" and "Reims" were at the top of European football at that time.
