Few kids get the chance to train at the Barcelona training camp. Brazilian Gabriel Muniz has overcome more than just odds, he has overcome the fact he has no feet

The 11 year-old appeared on a sports programme in Brazil and said his dream was to play with Brazilian coaches and it came through when coaches saw his story and invited him to Barcelona’s camp in Rio de Janiero

Coaches and players alike were amazed by his enthusiasm and courage and he was invited to the team’s Spanish camp in September.

It is a particularly uplifting story and the clip shows that Gabriel has plenty of skill and tricks despite such an obvious handicap.
