Super Bowl 51: Soccer World Reacts to Patriots' Record Win over Falcons

A global audience tuned in on Sunday to witness the New England Patriots overturn a 25-point deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in overtime in Super Bowl 51, including some of the stars from the world of soccer.

Led by quarterback Tom Brady, the Patriots fought back from 28-3 down in the third quarter to produce the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history and win their fifth title.

Here's a look at the top plays from the historic game, courtesy of the NFL:

As always, the Super Bowl caught the world's attention, including those who play with a differently shaped ball.

Chelsea goalkeeper and Patriots fan Asmir Begovic was in despair at half-time, while former England stopper David James was convinced the Falcons had it in the bag:

Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann was also cheering on the Falcons:

However, it was Begovic celebrating the Patriots' win and four-time Super Bowl MVP Brady at the end:

Fellow Chelsea 'keeper Thibaut Courtois was also ecstatic with the result, and he wasn't the only soccer star in attendance. Orlando City and Brazil playmaker Kaka also enjoyed it live:

NFL Brasil shared Kaka's reaction to the Patriots' win:

Brady received plenty of love from Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane:

U.S. men's national team and U.S. women's national team midfielders Jermaine Jones and Carli Lloyd also got in on the act:

"

What. A. Game. Brady is clutch. Zoned in. Great season Atlanta and Matt Ryan #SuperBowl2017 #Brady #GOAT

Along with players past and present, some clubs also marked the event. Reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich reacted to the comeback, while La Liga counterparts Barcelona congratulated the Patriots on their incredible win:

The victory marked the end of an astonishing season for the Patriots and Brady, who was suspended for the first four games in the fallout from the Deflategate scandal.

The 39-year-old helped the team bounce back and ultimately beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game last month before going on to Super Bowl glory.

Per USA Today's Dan Wolken, Brady revealed his intent to keep playing after the Super Bowl to Fox's Terry Bradshaw. So NFL fans in the soccer world could be set to watch him at Super Bowl 52 next year.
