Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to react after seeing what Raphinha uploaded onto Instagram earlier today.
The £17 million winger posted a photo of Brazilian legend Ronaldinho holding a ‘Raphinha 18’ shirt, signed by the Leeds forward himself.
You might be wondering why this exchange even happened.
Well, funnily enough, the South American duo are from the same place in Brazil, and Ronaldinho is good friends with Raphinha’s father.
Raphinha shared this information with FourFourTwo, and also revealed that he visits the Ballon d’Or winner every time he returns to his homeland.
The Leeds attacker also said that Ronaldinho is his idol.
We can see that just by the way Raphinha plays his football.
Just like Ronaldinho, Marcelo Bielsa’s flamboyant forward plays with a smile on his face, and is one of those players who gets fans off their seats every time he steps foot on the pitch.
It must be crazy for the Elland Road faithful to know that a genuine footballing icon such as Ronaldinho has a Leeds shirt in his house.
Hopefully, when supporters are allowed back in, the former AC Milan and Barcelona trickster pays a visit to Yorkshire.
Let’s see how the Leeds fans reacted after Raphinha uploaded the images of Ronaldinho onto his Instagram account…
