A heartwarming second occurred throughout Spain’s Euro 2024 championship parade on Monday. As captain Alvaro Morata invited his gamers onto the stage, Alex Baena stepped out accompanied by a 10-year-old most cancers affected person, Maria Camano, a diehard fan of Morata’s Atletico Madrid.
Morata proceeded to thank Camano for being a supply of inspiration to him and his teammates.
“We’re very pleased to have you ever right here with all of us, you recognize I’ve informed you this many instances,” Morata informed the fan. “Ultimately, we play soccer, I will inform you once more: you educate us on daily basis, Alex and me, what it means to combat in life and what it means to be a superhero in life. I need to thanks right here in entrance of everybody and hope you’ve got a superb photograph right here with the trophy.”
Morata then requested the fan if she would hoist the Euro trophy on behalf of him and his teammates. Camano obliged with a smile, a lot to the delight of the gamers and scores of followers gathered on the streets of Madrid.
