Barcelona's Dani Alves straight up owned a racist Villarreal fan who threw a banana at him during Sunday's match by picking it up of the pitch and eating it. The racist fan has been handed a lifetime ban by the La Liga club.

Brazilian international Alves was getting ready to take a corner during Barca's 3-2 win at Villarreal's El Madrigal stadium, when a banana landed at his feet. Like a champ, he nonchalantly picked up the banana, peeled it and ate the whole thing and got on with the game like nothing happened.

After the game, Alves was supported by teammate Neymar who posted a picture of himself with a banana and the caption "We are all monkey." Several players from the Premier League including Sergio Aguero, David Luiz, Oscar, Willian, Nacer Chadli and Moussa Dembele also have shown their support.

Villarreal issued a statement on Monday saying it "deeply regrets" the incident. "The club has identified the person responsible and has decided to withdraw his membership card and prohibit access to the El Madrigal Stadium for life," it added.

Maybe the Los Angeles Clippers should give a banana or two to owner Donald Sterling?
