"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 name on it and the Portuguese player's number 7 on the back. He had received the jersey earlier as a gift from club president Florentino Perez.
