A child with a terminal illness finally got his last big wish thanks to Kylian Mbappe.

Kylian Mbappé has captured hearts worldwide after granting the final wish of Lorenzo, a young boy said to be battling an incurable disease. 

According to Spanish outlet Marca, Lorenzo, a young Frenchman diagnosed with a glioma in the back of his brain, had one last wish: to meet his idol, Kylian Mbappé. 

In a heartfelt video shared on social media, Lorenzo expressed his dream, which quickly gained traction online.

Once Mbappé learned of Lorenzo’s situation, he wasted no time in making the boy’s wish a reality. 

The Paris Saint-Germain striker personally reached out to Lorenzo’s family and arranged for them to attend Real Madrid’s match against Las Palmas last weekend.

When Lorenzo arrived at the stadium, he was greeted by Mbappé, who warmly said, “You finally came.”

But Mbappé didn’t stop there. 

The entire Real Madrid team joined in to meet Lorenzo, signing a special shirt for him, taking photos, and ensuring the experience was unforgettable.

Reflecting on the emotional encounter, Mbappé shared his thoughts saying:

“He’s a different boy. In life, there are more important things than football, and I want to thank the club for giving me the opportunity to bring him to the game and meet all the players. It was an incredible moment for him, and I’m very happy about that.”

This act of kindness from Mbappé not only fulfilled Lorenzo’s final wish but also highlighted the power of compassion and humanity in the world of sports. 

Lorenzo’s story reminds us that the joy a simple act of kindness can bring, even in the face of life’s hardest challenges.
