Brazilian football legend Carlos Alberto has died aged 72, according to media reports.

Alberto, who captained Brazil to victory at the 1970 World Cup, reportedly died after suffering a heart attack.

Considered one of the greatest defenders of all time, Alberto scored what is arguably the best World Cup goal in Brazil’s 4-1 victory over Italy in the final of the 1970 World Cup in Mexico.

He was capped 53 times for Brazil, scoring eight goals.

Until his death, he was a sports commentator for Brazilian channel Sportv.
