Just before the Audi Cup final between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid kicked-off, a fan ran out onto the pitch.
Normally a pitch invasion is firmly ended by a swarm of stewards forcefully removing the fan, that wasn't really an option this time, as the pitch invader was a child.

After the match, Alaba found the same girl in the crowd and gave her his jersey.
What a hero.
