Last Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Montpellier HSC 5-0 at the Parc des Princes but that wasn’t their biggest victory on the day.
As shown in the video below, after the match, many members of the team visited a young fan in a wheelchair who was waiting for an autograph.

In the video, Keylor Navas is the first to stop by and sign his shirt and he is followed by Pablo Sarabia, Idrissa Gueye, Presnel Kimpembe, Edinson Cavani, Mauro Icardi, and even Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr who both took a photo with the supporter.
PSG players are often criticized for being mercenaries who only care about money and late-night parties. This video is a glimpse into their true personalities.
The video, which was shared by the Twitter user @monpayscparis, appears to have been shot by the kid’s mother. After some investigation, the fan’s name is Tom and according to Twitter user @Paristeamfr, the match was a surprise for his seventh birthday. I’ve also provided a Facebook post with more information about Tom and his condition.
On en sait plus sur le petit bonhomme. C'était un anniversaire surprise pour Tom qui fêtait ses 7 ans et un magnifique cadeau réalisé par Sophie de @PSGChildren

PSG is known for its work with children through the PSG Foundation. Last December, the club invited 240 kids to attend a match and even had them illustrate the players to help announce the starting lineup.
