One of the most beloved footballers around the world, Ronaldinho recently announced through a video message that he will be visiting Pakistan in July 2017.
And as soon as the Barcelona and Brazilian icon made this announcement, Pakistani sports fans along with their cricket icon, Shahid Afridi, were overjoyed.
Afridi, through a set of tweets, has welcomed the Brazilian legend in his own way.
