A Borussia Dortmund fan left an interviewer close to tears in a heartwarming moment in the build-up to the Champions League final on Saturday.
Dortmund took on Real Madrid at Wembley after a memorable and shocking run to the final which included victories over Atletico Madrid and PSG.
Unfortunately for Edin Terzic's side, they were beaten 2-0 by Los Blancos on the night as the Spanish giants lifted Europe's elite club competition for a record-extending 15th time.
However, a moment in the build-up to the showpiece event has gone viral after a Dortmund fan had turned up to Wembley without a ticket.
In an interview with the TikTok account 'Robdidtiktok', the supporter explained his journey to the game.
'I hoped to get a ticket today but there was no luck,' he said as he looked devastated.
'(Dortmund) It's my heart club. It's the best club in the world for me and I've been a fan since my childhood. It's the best club.
'It's hard (that I didn't get a ticket), but the game will start soon and I hope to see a good game.
'It was everything for me to go into the game.'
The interviewer, clearly taken aback by the supporter's sadness and love for his club, then offered him his ticket for the final.
However, in a remarkable show of loyalty to the five friends he had traveled with, the supporter turned down the opportunity, leaving the interviewer in shock.
'We are six people,' he explained. 'OK but my friends, we are six people, we all traveled six people.
'I appreciate your ticket but all or no one. But we're a group, we're friends if only I could see the game, it's not fair to my friends. But friendship...'
The interviewer then embraced the supporter and was clearly in awe of his loyalty, before they parted ways, with a final reminder that the ticket would still be there if he changed his mind.
As the camera panned back around to the interviewer, he looked like he was about to tear up after his emotional interaction with the Dortmund fan.
