In the 31st minute of the second half at El Madrigal during the crucial Villarreal–Barcelona match, with the visitors trailing 2–1, Barcelona were preparing to take a corner kick. Dani Alves went over to take the set piece when some racist fans in the stands threw a banana at him.
The Brazilian player picked it up, peeled it, and ate it. A spontaneous gesture that turned a disgusting racist insult into a moment of irony on the pitch.
Racism can also be confronted with humor and intelligence.
