Running, passing, shooting, tackling and even taking a tumble – this young boy has everything it takes to captain his football team during school gym class.

The only difference? Gabriel Muniz was born without any feet.

In Brazil football is a passion and a way of life, and nothing was going to get between Gabriel and his dreams.

Now he is being rewarded with a trip to Spain to meet his idol Lionel Messi and the rest of the Barcelona team.

And if the 2014 football World Cup in Brazil is just a bit too soon?

Well the soccer mad country is hosting the Olympics just two years later, and the Paralympic football team may just need some of that dazzling skill.
