Cristiano Ronaldo often gets accused of being a moody so and so on the football pitch, but here he is with a lovely gesture off it.
The world's best player has been caught on video sticking up for a young fan during a promotional event in Japan, after the audience began to laugh as tjhe boy attempted to ask him a question in Portuguese.

The crowd then applauded the child on the stage.
