The viral video of the bridge collapse in DR Congo comes after another made the rounds on social media showing a young girl left heartbroken at a Spanish football game.
The heartbreaking video shared on Wednesday, August 24, shows a young girl crying after the mascot of Malaga Football Club failed to give her a high-five.
Believed to have been captured at Malaga’s last home game against Las Palmas on Monday, August 22, the video shows Súper Boke, Málaga CF’s new official mascot as of January 2022, high-fiving another youngster but failing to do the same for the young girl.
