The Villareal fan who threw a Banana at Dani Alves during a La Liga match on Sunday has been identified and banned for life by the club.
Alves picked up the Banana, peeled and ate it before taking the corner kick to make a mess of the racist taunt.
According to reports from Spain, the concerned club has however issued a statement which reads "Villarreal CF wants to communicate that the club deeply regrets and condemns the incident that happened yesterday during the match against FC Barcelona in which a fan threw an object onto the field of El Madrigal.
"Thanks to the security forces and the invaluable assistance of the Yellow crowd, the club has already identified the person and has decided to withdraw his season tickets, permanently banning his access to El Madrigal stadium.
"Once again our club would like to express its firm commitment to promoting respect, equality, sportsmanship and fair play both on and off the field and our absolute rejection of any act that is contrary to these principles, such as violence, discrimination, racism and xenophobia."
Barcelona however openly condemned the act while Alves and other players like Sergio Aguero and Neymar made fun of the taunt suggesting that the best way to handle such matter is to make a humour of it.
