As painfully obvious as it is that Perez has done this for publicity, it's still good on him and the club for bringing the young boy to Spain and introducing him to the first team - including his idol Ronaldo. Perhaps the boy is too young to remember this experience, but hopefully it goes a long way in making him a good person in the future.

"A young Lebanese football fan by the name of Haidar had a day to remember when he was flown out to Spain to meet the Real Madrid first team, including Cristiano Ronaldo.
Haidar lost both his parents in the attacks that killed 44 people in Beirut on November 12, before an online movement using the hashtag #CristianoMeetHaidar brought the tragic story to Real's attention.
They promptly arranged Haidar to make the trip to Madrid, where Real president Florentino Perez greeted him and presented him a personalised club shirt.
He was then introduced to members of Real's first-team squad, including Ronaldo, who greeted the emotional youngster with a smile and a hug."
