Cristiano Ronaldo helped Portugal win the inaugural League of Nations yesterday, but a few hours ago he did everything to make someone else 's dream come true too.

On his way to play the final of the League of Nations against the Netherlands in Portugal, Ronaldo spotted a young supporter on the side of the road holding a sign addressed to him.

The sign said: "Cristiano, give me a hug".

Ronaldo had the team bus stopped in order to meet the young supporter, who, according to the Portuguese publication Flash, was an 11-year-old leukemia patient, Eduardo Moreira, and brought him on board for a photo.

Security helped Eduardo on board, where he met his star and took pictures with him, sporting a smile on his face.

Ronaldo added even more joy to the hours later, when Eduardo and Portugal beat the Netherlands 1-0 in the final to win the League of Nations.
