Dani Alves has launched an astonishing attack on the city of Paris - labelling its inhabitants as "f***ing racists".
The Brazilian full-back has returned to his native country to play for Sao Paolo after spending two years in the French capital.
He played 48 times and scored twice in winning back-to-back Ligue 1 titles, but said his time with PSG was 'stressful'.
“It’s a stressful city,” he told GQ magazine. “I didn’t like it much.
“If you go to Paris for a week, it will be the trip of your life, but any longer than that and it gets tiring.
“It reminds me a bit of Sao Paulo, but there, they are f***ing racists. A lot of them.
“They didn’t say anything to me because I would have old them to go and f*** themselves, but I saw it towards my friends.”
Alves famously took a bite out of a banana thrown at him while playing for Villarreal.
He later said: "We have suffered this in Spain for some time. You have to take it with a dose of humour. We aren't going to change things easily. If you don't give it importance, they don't achieve their objective.”
Alves has also played for Sevilla and Barcelona over the course of his illustrious career, and said he preferred those cities over Paris.
“The people there look Brazilian, live out on the street and have a cool energy,” he said. “They’re very up front, but I prefer people to be like that than the opposite.”
