The opportunity of meeting your idol is not something that comes along often.

Particularly for sport stars and athletes, it's difficult to get so close to them because of the security that are present in certain situations and environments.

But if you the opportunity does arrive, you might as well take it.

If you are breathing the same air as someone who you idolise and view as your inspiration, why not try your luck and see what happens?

That's the approach a young Spanish lad had when he was watching national team training recently.

At the end of the training session in Gijon, where La Roja are gearing up for Friday's World Cup qualifier with Israel, the kid saw his chance and decided to run onto the pitch where Spain were training and managed to dodge security guards who rushed to grab him.

His only intention was to share a moment with Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.

The youngster, said to be around 12-years old, was sporting a shirt with Morata's name and number on and darted across the pitch to try and get to his idol.

The turn of pace on display is quite something as he races clear of the onrushing security guards.

Eventually, he makes his way to the opposite side of the pitch and immediately heads over to Morata.

One security guard was still chasing as the fan gave Morata a hug, but the 24-year old was happy to to share an embrace.
