to fight racist abuse after team-mate
Dani Alves had a banana thrown at
him during the 3-2 win over Villarreal
on Sunday.
The Brazilian full-back dealt with the
incident in good humour, picking up the banana and eating it, but his
compatriot took to Instagram to voice his disgust at the abuse.
"We are all equal, we are all monkeys, say no to racism," he wrote on
the social media site, accompanied with the hashtag
#weareallmonkeys.
"It's a shame that there's such prejudice in 2014. It's time for people
to raise their voices. My way of expressing my support is to do what
Dani Alves did.
"If you think so too, take a picture of yourself eating a banana and we
will use what they have against us to our advantage."
