"Haidar, a three-year-old child who in November
lost both of his parents in bombings in Beirut, saw
his dream come true on Friday when he was given
the opportunity to meet his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo,"
Real Madrid said in a statement posted on its
website.
Ronaldo, wearing a suit and tie, could be seen in a
picture posted on the club website giving the boy a
hug. Haidar wore a Real Madrid jersey with his

rivals Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. "Following the
brutal attack in the Lebanese capital last month, the
story of Haidar, photographed in a Real Madrid shirt
after surviving the massacre, came to global
attention," the statement said. "And since then, the
club had been ceaseless in its efforts to get in
contact with him and arrange for his dream of
meeting Cristiano," it added
