Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has sent a letter of condolence to his Portuguese counterpart Pedro Passos Coelho over the death of soccer legend Eusebio, who died on Sunday at the age of 71.

"The Black Panther set an example to several generations, not only with his superb game, but with his whole life," he wrote in the letter, adding that "his talent and zeal were inspirational; his modesty and honesty touched all of us". "All nations need heroes like him," the Hungarian Prime Minister wrote.
