Zaid Abdul Mohsen, the seven-year-old son of Syrian refugee Osama Abdul
Mohsen, who was tripped by a Hungarian camerawoman as he fled police in
Hungary with him, accompanied Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo onto
the pitch before the team's La Liga game against Granada yesterday
Madrid had invited Osama Abdul and sons Zaid and Mohammad to the match,
which they won 1-0.


Zaid accompanied Ronaldo when the teams entered the
pitch before kickoff and received applause from the Santiago Bernabeu
crowd. Before the match, the players wore T-shirts supporting the
thousands of refugees fleeing to Europe from the Syrian war. Mohsen had
arrived to the capital earlier this week after a Spanish football
academy offered to help them rebuild their lives. Images of him being
tripped by the Hungarian journalist provoked outrage across the world.
