<h3>Ronaldinho, the Brazilian footballing legend, invited Brosna Gaelic footballer Paul Walsh to his flat in Rio de Janeiro.</h3>
<p>Ronaldinho was eager to pose for photos, including one in which he&#8217;s holding a Kerry county football jersey &#8211; and they have now gone viral on social media, with fans wondering how the two became friends.<br />It&#8217;s been speculated that they met when Walsh befriended Ronaldinho on Instagram and was advised to drop in if he was ever in Brazil.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is real. That is something I can definitely confirm,&#8221;&nbsp;Leona Twiss, the PRO for Kerry County Board said.&nbsp;&#8220;So, allegedly the story is that Paul was messaging Ronaldinho on social media, and they made a connection and the offer was put there that if he was ever in Brazil to make sure he called. And that&#8217;s what happened &#8211; and they had a lovely evening together playing keepy uppies and chatting and, obviously, he was very lucky to be presented with a Kerry jersey as well.&#8221;</p>
