Portuguese Boy Consoles Devastated French Fan After Euro 2016 Final

WHO'S CUTTING ONIONS?

As if we needed any more proof that football is the world's beautiful game.

Portugal beat France 1-0 on Sunday to win the Euro 2016 championship, earning the team its first major trophy.

French fans, naturally, came undone after their national team's extra time loss, while Portugal fans had much to celebrate.

But amid festivities, one young Portuguese fan put people before partying.

A video of the boy in Paris consoling a devastated French fan has been making the rounds on social media, and it's easy to see why. The boy pats on the weeping fan on the back before the two hug it out.

Watch the beautiful moment in the video embedded above.
