The world's number one female tennis player, American Serena Williams, admired the courage of Barcelona footballer Dani Alves, who became the victim of a racist incident during a match against Villarreal.
Before Dani Alves took a corner kick, a Villarreal fan, David Campayo Lleo, threw a banana onto the field. The Brazilian player reacted in a rather original way: he picked up the banana and tasted it before taking the kick.
"The person who threw the banana at Dani Alves is an ape. Dani needed a lot of courage to pick it up and eat it. This is the act of a strong person. We must all continue to fight racism and educate people. We still have many barriers to break down, but with each generation, this problem is gradually being solved," the Spanish press quotes Williams Jr. as saying.
