All that cancer survivor Elliot Sanz wanted was to meet his favorite Manchester City player, Sergio Aguero. His wish came true and then some.

Elliot was diagnosed with sarcoma cancer and prepared for the worst, but he defied expectations from his doctors and Aguero met with the young fan to lift his spirits as he recovers:

Pep Guardiola made a surprise visit and offered to let the fan come to any game he wanted – but the best part may be Pep and Elliot bonding over having been ball boys when they were kids. Elliot remembers how he placed the ball at the corner flag before Edin Dzeko's equalizer vs. QPR when City won the league in 2012.

Beating expectations, the fan came out onto the pitch at their next game in a touching moment. He said he came to his first game of the season in a wheelchair and now he was walking.

Is it a bit dusty in here or is it just us? Go get 'em Elliot.
