She is in intensive care, receiving the best possible treatment. I would like to thank everyone in advance for all of the positive energy you always send. With love. Stay strong Mum", he posted on social media. After a couple of months fighting the virus, sadly, Ronaldinho's mother was unable to win her battle. RIP.
