NOTE 1:  Jersey obtained direct form the brazilian legend Mario "Lobo" Zagallo. This piece is considerer a mitic piece of history , understanding that the match met two of the biggest soccer legend of all time at the same pitch , Pelé and Johan Cruyff. 

This piece is the last piece kept by Zagallo's family about O'Rey , and at the time given from Pelé to Zagallo, this jersey was personalized to his sons Paulo & Maria Cristina  at the age , keeping very minor marks about that personalization.

" Ao Amigos  Paulo e Maria Cristina ,um abraco , Edson=Pelé" 

 "To my friends Paulo and Maria Cristina, a hug , Edson= Pelé"

NOTE 2: After the Catalans were eliminated by Palmeiras, and Santos by Español, finally the great duel between Pelé and Cruyff took place in consolation. "There is an anecdote from that game that few know and it is that Cruyff played with the number 6 since the line-up was given in alphabetical order," explains the historian. Something unusual since the number of the Dutch footballer was 14.

NOTE 3:The game ended with a clear 4-1 Barça victory, with Santos scoring almost at the end with a "doubtful penalty that allowed Pelé to score and go down in the history of the Carranza Trophy. A goal that in principle was the Brazilian's farewell with Santos in Europe, since "the teams that played in Carranza could not play another game in Spain for a month due to an exclusive contract".

However, in the end it was not. "The friendship of the president at the time of Atlético de Madrid, Vicente Calderón, and the mayor of Cádiz, José León de Carranza, allowed Palmeiras to play days later with Atlético, and in turn the same thing happened with Santos, who in his case would play in Zaragoza, thanks to Carranza's relationship with the president of the club, "explains Lebrero.

In this way, Pelé played his last clash with Santos in Europe against Zaragoza scoring two goals, and not in Carranza where it could have been his farewell with the Brazilian team.
