WATCH: Spain Mascot Has Brilliant Reaction To Seeing His Heroes

There's a cliche that claims that you should never meet your heroes, as you'll only be disappointed. But just try telling that to Spain's mascot for their match with the Czech Republic, this afternoon.

The youngster couldn't contain his delight when he had a glance down the tunnel of Stade de Toulouse, as the two teams made their way onto the pitch for their opening group game of Euro 2016 and who can blame him? Imagine being so young and having the opportunity to walk onto the pitch alongside Iniesta, Ramos, Pique, Busquets and David Silva as the European champions look to defend their crown?

More heart warming moments like this, please.
