Well, this is pretty damn adorable.

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. When she approached Bayern star David Alaba, he reacted perfectly to diffuse the situation without causing a commotion. He obliged in accepting a hug before escorting her off the pitch and helping the child find her family. After the match, Alaba found the same girl in the crowd and gave her his jersey. What a hero. https://twitter.com/FCBFOTOS/status/629024337127870464
