It is one thing when football clubs rally their troops to support ailing kids across their cities and it is entirely another thing when a football club goes the extra mile, pushing boundaries in terms of rules and regulations to accommodate the needy in the society in their teams!.

Remember that time Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo went an extra mile to make a young child's dream come true?.

Ronaldo alongside some of his teammates at Real Madrid made the dream of a 5 year old orphan Ahmed Dawabshah from Palestine come true. Ahmed's parents and his brother were killed in a Palestine bomb attack a while back.

According to , Photos of Ahmed wearing a Real Madrid jersey carrying Ronaldo's picture while recuperating from 60 percent burns on his body flooded the internet. And it's from then when a touched Ronaldo and the Palestine embassy organised a trip for Ahmed to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.

Fast forward, Spanish football team, Villareal did the unthinkable, most touching in fact classy act football will never forget for a long long time.

Villareal played Celtic in a recent friendly, but in their starting XI they named 13-year-old Gohan, who sadly suffers from an aggressive form of cancer.

According to Daily Mail, Gohan had informed his nurses of his dream to play for Villarreal at the Madrigal Stadium, and the club were more than happy to oblige.

Villarreal even threw in the full VIP treatment as Gohan got to meet the side in the dressing room before the game, where he even had his own space and player board behind him.

The night would only get better for the 13-year-old, who scored straight from kick-off after showing a few tricks (and judging by Celtic's woeful showing in Europe this term, we reckon his goal was not the result of generosity from the Scottish champions.)

Having celebrated his strike with his team-mates, Gohan was substituted to warm applause from the fans soon after as the Spanish outfit went on to win the game 5-2.

Watch the emotional video below.
