Watch: Spain honors 10-year-old cancer patient after Euros win

A heartwarming moment occurred during Spain's Euro 2024 championship parade on Monday. As captain Alvaro Morata invited his players onto the stage, Alex Baena stepped out accompanied by a 10-year-old cancer patient, Maria Camano, a diehard fan of Morata's Atletico Madrid.

Morata proceeded to thank Camano for being a source of inspiration to him and his teammates. 

"We are very happy to have you here with all of us, you know I've told you this many times," Morata told the fan. "In the end, we play football, I'll tell you again: you teach us every day, Alex and me, what it means to fight in life and what it means to be a superhero in life. I want to thank you here in front of everyone and hope you have a good photo here with the trophy."

Morata then asked the fan if she would hoist the Euro trophy on behalf of him and his teammates. Camano obliged with a smile, much to the delight of the players and scores of fans gathered on the streets of Madrid.
