Dani Alves eats a banana thrown at him by racist fans against Villareal[YOUTUBE]Alves was the subject of a racist taunt last night during Barcelona's 3-2 comeback victory against Villarreal.
But the Brazilian took an unusual step when confronted by a banana thrown from the home crowd - by picking up the fruit, peeling and then eating it.
All before taking a corner!
After the game, Alves said humour was the best way to combat racism in football.
"We have suffered this in Spain for some time," Alves said.
"You have to take it with a dose of humor. We aren't going to change things easily.
"If you don't give it importance, they don't achieve their objective."
Alves has been subjected to racist taunts in the past and called fighting the discrimination "a lost war" in January 2013, after segments of Real Madrid's fans abused him with monkey chants during an El Clasico match.
