Real Madrid’s rising prospect Kylian Mbappé immediately drew the attention of football fans upon his arrival in Almaty.

Long before the Spanish team landed at the city’s airport, hundreds of fans had already gathered there overnight, and a similar scene unfolded near the InterContinental Hotel. Admirers of the La Liga team almost filled the venue’s lobby, hoping to take a photo or get an autograph. One of the stars of the event was a boy who ran up to the footballer.

The forward appreciated the young fan’s gesture and gently hugged him. After that, the hotel’s security escorted the boy aside.

Despite the seven-hour flight from Madrid to Almaty, Mbappé showed kindness to other young fans. He signed a personalized T-shirt for another boy.
