Sad news.
PSG striker Kylian Mbappé paid tribute this Thursday to the young 8-year-old Lucas, who died of his illness, on Twitter: "It is with great emotion that I inform you that Lucas left to join the stars.
Very difficult to find the words but it is necessary to pay homage to this boy filled with love, sympathy and above all courage who taught me so much and with whom I nurtured a strong bond.
I will try to make you proud because you are the real hero.
You who deserve all this praise for having fought your disease for more than 10 months without ever complaining.
I am extremely proud to have been able to be your boyfriend until your last breaths and believe me that I will be forever.
May God grant the way to Heaven my little angel.
I love you."

During the Parisians' Final 8 in Lisbon last August, the young boy posted a message of support before the final against Bayern Munich, via the association "Les Petites bosses" which helps sick children.
A text that particularly touched PSG players.
And in particular Kylian Mbappé.
During his goal in Nîmes last weekend, the world champion had already paid tribute to his young fan with a t-shirt under his jersey which read "Courage Lucas, I am with you".
And a few words in front of the microphones.
“I would like to make a little dedication to Lucas, he's a boyfriend of mine.
We are all privileged and I think of all the children. ”
✨ Our little Lucas left this morning to join the stars.
This little angel fought like a champion against disease, surrounded by his family.
At only 8 years old, he had an extraordinary and inspiring personality.
A model of strength and courage for us pic.twitter.com/rPxS2nkACD
