In the small town of Gostivar, North Macedonia, a young boy's dream turned into reality in the most extraordinary way. Reis Fejzi, a talented 10-year-old with an immense passion for football, recently embarked on an unforgettable journey to Madrid. His destination? The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, where Real Madrid faced Las Palmas in a thrilling 4-1 victory.

The young football enthusiast had been eagerly anticipating this moment, and when the referee’s final whistle marked the end of the game, Reis seized his chance. With courage and determination, he dashed onto the pitch, weaving past security to reach his idol.
Face-to-face with the French superstar, Reis expressed his admiration, telling Mbappé how much he inspired him and how he aspired to follow in his footsteps. Moved by the boy’s heartfelt words and daring spirit, Mbappé rewarded Reis with a special gift—a Real Madrid jersey handed over as a token of their brief yet meaningful encounter.
For Reis, this magical moment in Madrid was more than just a dream come true; it was a source of motivation. His passion for football, already burning bright, has been further fueled by this encounter with one of the world’s greatest players.
Reis Fejzi now returns to Gostivar with a story to tell, a jersey to treasure, and a renewed determination to pursue his dream of becoming a world-renowned footballer. Who knows? Perhaps one day, he too will inspire young fans just as Mbappé has inspired him.
