This is terrible news for Bradley Barcola and is likely to greatly upset the French striker. Thursday evening, the Paris Saint-Germain player scored the fourth and final goal for the France team against Israel in the Nations League (1-4) and he dedicated his goal to a sick child in the locker room. Making the letter M with his fingers, the young player dedicated his achievement to Mathias, a seriously ill child for whom he had signed a jersey and who had asked him before Thursday’s match: “If you score, you could make an M ?And thank you again for signing.” A promise kept by Barcola.
Mathias died
The PSG striker made the letter M in the locker room, posting a photo in his Instagram story and writing: “For you Mathias”. Except that this Saturday, just two days after this match and this beautiful gesture, we learned that Mathias died. One of his relatives announced it on social networks, declaring: “It is with immense sadness that I announce the death of Mathias, who was like a little brother to me. After months of fighting, he finally found peace.” Suffice to say that the news is tragic and risks plunging Barcola into grief.
