What made headlines, however, was a rather adorable but thought-provoking moment after the game. Post-match, a young fan was seen running onto the pitch, hoping to get his favorite star’s shirt. To much surprise, even with the likes of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar on the pitch, the kid ran past all, to meet his icon, Bernardo Silva.

Some may have expected the young lad to approach Messi, Mbappe, or Neymar, but the kid showed he was a true blue. Breaching security, he went straight to Silva and took home back a lovely memento and a memory he won’t forget.
