Alireza Babajani cannot see the screen, but that night he felt every play with his fingertips. 🥹
His dad drew a soccer field on a board for him and, while Portugal-Uzbekistan was being played on television, guided his son’s hand across the miniature field, softly narrating every move.
When Cristiano Ronaldo—Alireza’s idol—scored the goal, the two of them burst out together. The Iranian boy has been playing piano for years and has a phrase on his Instagram account that says it all: “Maybe my eyes cannot see your world, but with my fingers I feel God.” 🎹
That is exactly what he did that night: he felt the World Cup with his fingers, thanks to a father who found the most beautiful way to not leave his son out of anything. 🤍
