As you can imagine, the players on the Barcelona futbol team have millions of young supporters. And star striker Gerard Pique showed a very nice gesture to a Spanish boy after their victory against Levante this week.

Following an amazing 7-0 win, Gerard headed straight towards the locker room. But not before handing his game jersey to an enthusiastic boy on the front lines.

What makes the moment even more unique was the fact that the child had yelled to every other player on the team. The entire Barcelona squad wound up passing him by…All except for Pique that is.

Out of nowhere, Gerard threw him the shirt, which literally drove the kid to tears. The kind gesture gave Pique a major social media boost and, we imagine, some kisses and hugs from his beautiful fam.
