Ronaldinho was all smiles as he met and shook hands with the Pontiff during a meeting with the Scholas Occurrentes, an educational organisation founded by the Pope.

The Pontifical Foundation ‘Scholas Occurrentes’ is  an international project based in Argentina that brings together schools and educational networks from different cultures and religious backgrounds.

The Pope could not wait to ask Ronaldinho one of the most asked question in football; Pele and Maradone, who was better?

Pope Francis is a huge football fan and has welcomed the likes of Carlos Tevez and Bayern Munich captain Philip Lamn to the Vatican.
