Ronaldinho, 43, responded to Murray on his personal X account, after the tennis star shared a highlight reel of the former AC Milan and Barcelona legend's finest moments throughout his 17-year career.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Murray took to his own X account to say: "My favourite athlete growing up. When I moved to Barcelona to train at 15 I got the chance to watch him live a bunch of times. Absolute genius. Always smiling. I’d arrive early at the stadium just to watch him warm up as he’d be doing ridiculous skills/tricks like in the video."To which <a href="https://twitter.com/10Ronaldinho/status/1736104566213452274?s=20" target="_blank">Ronaldinho replied</a>: "Thank you Sir!"

WHAT THEY SAID SAID

Despite dedicating much of his life to the sport of tennis, Murray is an avid football fan and follows both Arsenal and Hibernian closely, with his grandfather Roy Erskine&nbsp;having played for the latter during the 1950s.

DID YOU KNOW?

Despite currently being in the public eye with his interactions with Ronaldinho, it is unclear when Murray will return to the tennis court after pulling out of the recent Davis Cup Finals with Team GB due to a shoulder injury in November.
