Being kind requires very little effort. This was demonstrated this Tuesday by the England national team midfielder,
Jude Bellingham
, in the friendly match against
Belgium
. The 20-year-old British man melted the hearts of spectators when he gave his coat to a boy in a wheelchair who escorted him before the match.
The match was held at
Wembley Stadium
, in the city of
London, England,
where the cold accompanies everyone at this time of year. Temperatures on average range from 5°C to 10°C. Furthermore, a persistent drizzle was falling and the little guards who accompanied the players were only wearing shorts and t-shirts, without any coats.
Bellingham, upon realizing that the boy was hugging himself, bent down to ask him if he was cold, and did not hesitate to take off his sweatshirt and use it as a blanket to cover him. The boy's smile said it all.

, and an official fan account of the Spanish club shared a video of the gesture on X this morning, causing various reactions from fans. Comments include phrases such as: "
Jude Bellingham is everything that is right in this world
and I will never stop saying it"; "An exemplary in absolutely everything,
how wonderful to have a person like that on our team
."
