A Villarreal fan threw a banana at Dani Alves during Barcelona's 3-2 win over Villareal in La Liga action on Sunday. Alves, not missing a beat, picked up the banana, ate it, and went about his business.
After the game, Alves said: "I've been here 11 years and I've been suffering this the whole time, so I just face it with humour.
"We aren't going to change things easily. If you don't give it importance, they don't achieve their objective.
"I don't know who threw the banana but I want to thank him. It gave me the energy to put two more crosses in for our goals."
Alves has often been subjected to racist taunts and called fighting racism "a lost war" in January 2013, after segments of Real Madrid's fans abused him with monkey chants during a match.
