Cristiano Ronaldo Meets Young Coma Survivor Before Legia Warsaw vs. Real Madrid

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has been reunited with a boy whose recovery from a coma was reportedly helped by listening to a recording of the Portuguese icon scoring a goal.

The youngster, David Pawlaczyk, was in a coma for three months after a car crashed into him as he rode his bicycle two years ago, Javier G. Matallanas of AS reported.

A tweet from the Spanish newspaper captured the pair's meeting ahead of Madrid's Champions League tie with Legia Warsaw on Wednesday:
