"A notícia nos apanhou de surpresa e de forma brutal, inesperada, porque há homens que nunca deviam partir. Morreu Eusébio da Silva Ferreira, referência maior do Sport Lisboa e Benfica e de Portugal", publicou o Benfica, comunicando a morte do jogador, já durante a manhã deste domingo na Europa.

Em 2012, o ex-jogador sofreu um Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) durante a Eurocopa, na Polônia. Na ocasião, Eusébio ficou quase três semanas internado. Poucos meses antes, ele havia sido hospitalizado devido a uma pneumonia.

Nascido em 1942, na África Oriental Portuguesa, na região hoje conhecida como Moçambique, Eusébio surgiu para o futebol no Sporting Lourenço Marques. Em 1960, chegou ao Benfica, clube no qual atuou por mais de 600 vezes, se tornando o grande nome da história do clube e ídolo maior do futebol português.

Apelidado de "Pantera Negra", aproximou-se da marca de um gol por jogo durante a carreira, a qual encerrou num périplo por clube menores nos Estados Unidos, México, Canadá e Portugal mesmo, entre 1975 e 1980, recusando-se a parar apesar das seguidas operações no joelho esquerdo. Assim, aposentou-se aos 38 anos.

Pela então fraca seleção portuguesa, Eusébio só teve chance de disputar uma Copa do Mundo, em 1966. Na Inglaterra, comandou um time histórico, que eliminou o Brasil e chegou até o terceiro lugar, melhor posição já conquistada por um time português num Mundial. Eusébio foi o artilheiro da competição, com nove gols. O país só voltou a disputar uma Copa em 1986 e, depois, de 2002 para cá. No total, Eusébio disputou 41 gols em 64 jogos.

"De Eusébio vamos recordar o talento, o exemplo e o caráter de um homem que marcou o futebol português e se transformou numa referência do futebol mundial. Vamos recordar a alegria que tinha de viver, a sua simplicidade e frontalidade. A vida de Eusébio é patrimônio de todos aqueles que amam o futebol", exaltou o Benfica.

"A melhor forma de homenagearmos Eusébio é continuarmos a cumprir os seus sonhos e ambições. A memória e o legado de Eusébio ficam entre nós", completa o clube.

• 1961/62: Eusébio strikes gold for Benfica

The Mozambique-born forward spent most of his career with SL Benfica, winning the 1961/62 European Champion Clubs’ Cup, was top scorer as Portugal finished third in the 1966 FIFA World Cup and was awarded the 1965 Ballon d’Or. In February 2010, Eusébio became only the third man to receive the UEFA President's Award, following Alfredo Di Stéfano and Sir Bobby Charlton.

The Portuguese government declared three days of national mourning and the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) decided that all Sunday matches will be preceded by observing a minute of silence in memory of Eusébio. Since his death was announced early this morning, people started to arrive near his statue outside the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica to pay their tribute, with many wreaths and scarves adorning the Black Panther's figure.

A Bola newspaper reported in its online publication that Rui Alexandre Morais, a 32-year-old FC Porto fan, left a wreath with the following message: "Eusébio is from all of us," And he justified his act: "I'm a Porto fan and I swore to myself that I’d never set foot in this stadium but this morning I felt a pulse and came. Eusébio is from all of us, a symbol of Portugal. Today there are no clubs, Eusébio is Portugal."

Meanwhile, Benfica confirmed that Eusébio’s funeral will take place on Monday at 17.00 local time (18.00CET) at Lumiar cemetery. But before that, his body will lie in state from 17.30 on Sunday next to Door 1 of Benfica's stadium. Tomorrow, fulfilling Eusébio’s last wish, the coffin will circle the stadium from 13.30 before leaving in procession to the Lisbon Town Hall Square, arriving there around 15.15. A mass will be held at Largo da Luz Seminar church at 16.00 before the funeral one hour later.

Born as Eusébio da Silva Ferreira on 25 January 1942, he played for Benfica between 1960 and 1975, winning 11 Liga titles and five Portuguese Cups, finishing league top scorer ten years running. He also starred for Sporting Clube de Lourenço Marques in Mozambique and at various North American, Mexican and Portuguese teams either side of his stay with Benfica. In all, the records show that he scored 727 goals in 715 matches wearing the Benfica shirt.

He fired Benfica to a memorable triumph in the 1961/62 European Cup – the forerunner of today's UEFA Champions League – scoring twice in a 5-3 final victory over Real Madrid CF in Amsterdam, a performance which helped to launch his career. In total, he registered 59 goals in 78 games in UEFA club competitions.

In 1968 Eusébio earned plaudits for a particularly fine gesture of sportsmanship in Benfica's European Cup final against Manchester United at Wembley. In the closing stages of normal time, with the score at 1-1 he bore down on United goalkeeper Alex Stepney, only to see the keeper make a brilliant point-blank save from a blistering shot. Eusébio forgot his disappointment to applaud and pat Stepney on the back for his efforts. United went on to win 4-1.

At the 1966 World Cup he scored nine goals, including two in the 3-1 elimination of holders Brazil in the group stage and four more in the extraordinary comeback to beat North Korea 5-3 in the quarter-finals.

Many distinguished figures in Portugal have been paying tribute:

Aníbal Cavaco Silva, President of Portugal
He was a person endowed with exceptional human qualities, great humility and affability. He had a passion for life, surrounded by the affection of all Portuguese people. Two months ago I had the occasion to give him one last hug. When I made an official trip to Mozambique, I insisted that he was part of it; he was the most endearing people I have met in life. He represented the national team with boundless dedication – we remember the day he left the pitch in tears [after losing in the 1966 World Cup semi-finals], and those tears are our tears today. The country is officially in mourning. The best way to pay tribute to him is to follow his example. Let us follow him as a sportsman and as a human being.

Pdro Passos Coelho, Prime Minister of Portugal
Eusébio led the Portuguese flag and our pride to the four corners of the world. A football genius and an example of humility, an athlete of excellence and a generous and supportive man, Eusébio was an example of professionalism, determination and devotion to national colours and Sport Lisboa e Benfica for all sports and Portuguese.
With Eusébio – and the memories of the Black Panther dominating the pitch – blends the sport, the country, our history and our collective ambition. This memory will never die.

José Manuel Durão Barroso, President of the European Commission
Today is a sad day for Portuguese and world football. My sincere condolence to Eusébio's family and all Portuguese.

Luís Filipe Vieira, Benfica president
Eusébio had already won his status of myth in life and that's why the news of his disappearance is more shocking, because myths should never leave us! The 71 years of Eusébio celebrates football, celebrates Benfica, celebrates Portugal, but bring to mind someone who always had a huge pleasure for life. It is this dedication to life that today we remember. Eusébio will never die because his example will always stay among us. Thanks for everything you gave us.

Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, Porto president
Portuguese football is in mourning because has died one of the greatest symbols of football. He was the greatest Portuguese player of his generation and, above all, a great human being and an example of fair play. Here I evoke his memory and send my condolences to the family. It is a sad day for Portuguese football.

Cristiano Ronaldo
Forever eternal Eusébio, rest in peace.

Luís Figo
The king! Great loss to all of us! The greatest.

José Mourinho
He's unique in our country. He's one of the greatest in the history of football, but for our country he's much more than that. Irreplaceable,his place in the history of Portuguese football, but more than that in the history of our country. He's a man that doesn't belong to Benfica, doesn't belong to a club, he belongs to a country and I prefer to say that people like him are immortal, because their history and their legacy remains forever.

Eusébio morre aos 71 anos em Lisboa

O mundo do futebol amanheceu de luto neste domingo. Faleceu nesta madrugada, em Lisboa, o ex-jogador Eusébio, considerado o maior jogador da história de Portugal. Aos 71 anos, o Pantera Negra não resistiu a uma parada cardiorrespiratória. O corpo será velado no Estádio da Luz, estádio do Benfica, equipa da qual foi ídolo nas décadas de 1960 e 70.

Nascido em 25 de janeiro de 1942, Eusébio da Silva Ferreira começou a carreira no Sporting Lourenço Marques, de Moçambique, na metade final da década de 1950. O moçambicano foi contratado pelo Benfica no final de 1960 e se tornou o maior artilheiro da história do clube, marcando 727 golos em 715 partidas durante as 15 temporadas que atuou na equipa lisboeta.

Com a camisa das Águias, Eusébio conquistou 11 Campeonatos Portugueses (1960-61, 1962-63, 1963-64, 1964-65, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1970-1971, 1971-72, 1972-73 e 1974-75), cinco Taças de Portugal (1961-62, 1963-64, 1968-69, 1969-70 e 1971-72) e uma Taça dos Campeões Europeus (atual Liga dos Campeões) em 1961-62, sobre o Real Madrid de Ferenc Puskás, além de ter sido três vezes vice-campeão europeu (1962-1963, 1964-65 e 1967-68).

Considerado um dos maiores jogadores da história do futebol mundial, o ídolo português chegou ao auge na Copa do Mundo da FIFA de 1966, disputada na Inglaterra. Ao marcar nove golos em seis jogos, Eusébio levou Portugal ao terceiro lugar e foi considerado o melhor jogador do torneio. Na ocasião, a equipa lusa sofreu apenas uma derrota, justamente para a Inglaterra, na semifinal.
