A few days ago, Kylian Mbappé sent the seriously ill Lucas a message of hope. Now the boy succumbed to his cancer.

Football star Kylian Mbappé (21) has to say goodbye to one of his companions, a friend. Last week, during the game of his club Paris Saint-Germain against Nîmes Olympique, the Frenchman encouraged the boy Lucas. "I'm with you," read the shirt under his jersey. Now, on October 22nd, the athlete announced "with deep dismay" that Lucas "has risen to the stars".

He calls him his "little angel"

The boy lost the battle with cancer after ten months. Mbappé writes on Instagram that it is difficult for him to find the right words. "But it is necessary to pay tribute to this boy full of love, sympathy and above all courage, who has taught me so much and with whom I have developed a strong bond." The professional footballer had visited Lucas several times and spent time with him.

"I will try to make you proud, because you are the real hero," Mbappé addressed the boy, who died much too early. Commenting on joint black-and-white photos of the two, he wrote: "I am very proud to have been your friend until your last breath, and believe me, I will be forever, (…) my little angel. "
