Pelé has one of his most beautiful goals recreated by artificial intelligence Google Artificial intelligence The project was developed by the Google DeepMind team, the company's AI research laboratory, with the participation of professionals in Brazil and other countries. They used some of the company's latest AI models, including: Nano Banana, Google's AI image generator; Veo 3, a model capable of creating cinematic videos from text descriptions; Gemini Omni, technology that allows you to edit videos using natural language commands, as if the user were talking to the AI. This is not the first time that the goal considered the most beautiful of Pelé's career has been attempted to be recreated. Santos himself has already published versions produced with digital technology and animations on his social networks to simulate what the bid would have been like.

Juventus confirmed to g1 that there is no known video record of the move, mainly due to the technological limitations of the time. At that time, portable cameras did not yet exist and television was taking its first steps in Brazil, reaching only a small portion of the population. "Furthermore, audiovisual coverage of sporting events was quite limited," the club said. According to Juventus, the recording and systematic preservation of football matches was not yet part of the routine of media outlets. This helps to explain why many historic moments in Brazilian football from the 1950s and 1960s are not recorded in images and are only known through reports from the press at the time and from witnesses who attended the games.
