Young Camille, 8, met star Kylian Mbappé, of whom she is a great admirer. She walked 70 km by bike from Dreux, with his dad, to realize his dream.

She will remember this day for a long time. Camille, 8, met her idol, Kylian Mbappé, after a long journey. The little girl has cycled 160 km for sick children. A fan of football and Paris Saint-Germain, Camille suffers from a rare disease: she suffers from heart, lung and spinal problems. His challenge, made with his father, allows him to talk about sick children. She traveled 70 km between Dreux (Eure-et-Loir) and the Parc des Princes.

Upon arrival, a horde of Parisian supporters awaited him. “It’s incredible. We expected a welcome, but a welcome like that… Only Paris supporters can offer it. It’s awesome“, commented Sylvain Dif, the girl’s father and president of the association A smile for Camille. In the locker room, it is then time for the meeting. She received a signed jersey, and meanwhile offered a pen to the attacker,”to sign [s]the contracts“. A few months ago, the little girl had been the victim of online harassment, after having asked, on a video, the champion not to leave PSG. Kylian Mbappé had then publicly defended him.
