Andy Murray recently revealed his fondness for the Brazilian football star Ronaldinho Gaucho.

Murray moved to Barcelona for training when he was 15 years old, a few years before he became a professional tennis player. There, he witnessed the brilliance of Ronaldinho, who was one of the greatest players in Barcelona’s history.

Ronaldinho, who retired from football in 2015, played for Barcelona for five seasons in the 2000s, scoring 94 goals and providing 70 assists in 207 matches in all competitions. He had an outstanding season in 2005-06 when he netted 25 goals and assisted 23 times in 43 matches, helping the Blaugrana win the La Liga and the UEFA Champions League trophies.

Murray posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Friday (December 15) to express his admiration for Ronaldinho. He said the 2002 World Cup champion was his "favorite athlete" as a kid and revealed that he saw him play live many times during his teens. He also complimented the Brazilian’s ability to do "ridiculous skills" on the pitch.

"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," Murray wrote.
