After footage emerged of refugees being kicked to the floor by a camerawoman in Hungary, it was heart warming to see the family in question receive VIP treatment from Real Madrid.
And this wasn’t the only special moment in store for them. As Real Madrid faced Granada in their La Liga clash, the family were in attendance at the Bernabeu.
Before the game, Zied, pictured in tears following the incident in Hungary only a fortnight ago, was a vision of happiness as he walked on to the pitch hand in hand with Cristiano Ronaldo.

As both teams entered the pitch, all players wore special t-shirts with the message El fútbol profesional con los refugiados’ – professional football stands with refugees across the front.
