Santos, the club where Pelé and Neymar started, also doesn't accept that the Al-Hilal striker broke the record of the man the club and Brazilians call their king.
Pelé scored twice in Brazil's 2-2 draw with Inter Milan in 1960.
In 1960, he claimed a hat-trick in a 3-1 triumph over against a combination of Egyptian and Syrian national team players.
“I want to say this (record) doesn’t mean I am better than him (Pelé) or any national team player,” he said in a short statement.
“I always wanted to write my story in the national team and today I did that.”___
