Barca's Alves in classy response to racist slur

Barcelona’s Dani Alves was the target of a racist slur last night after a banana was thrown on the pitch. His reaction? Pick it up and eat it…

Barcelona’s Dani Alves took a bite from a banana after it was thrown on to the pitch in an apparently racist gesture during Sunday’s night’s 3-2 win at Villarreal.

The banana was thrown from the stands as the Brazilian was preparing to take a corner in the 75th minute, at which point Barca were trailing 2-1 and in the middle of a comeback from 2-0 down.
