Dani Alves denies wiping nose on Ronaldo's shirt
Paris Saint-Germain full-back Dani Alves has rejected accusations that he wiped mucus on the back of Cristiano Ronaldo’s shirt in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Video footage appears to show Alves rubbing his nose before touching Ronaldo’s sleeve, but Alves is adamant that it’s misleading.
PSG ended up crashing out of Europe after losing 5-2 on aggregate.
“In my job, it’s not painful to be eliminated because that’s part of day-to-day life, but to have to see and read stupid things like this,” Alves wrote on Twitter, as translated by Spanish newspaper AS. “I will continue competing like I have done and leave the nonsense to stupid people.”
Penoso en mi profesion en la mayoría de las veces no es quedar eliminado, eso forma parte del cotidiano nuestro, pero tener que ver y escuchar bobadas como esa…. pero bueno, continuaré competiendo como hice hasta hoy y las bobadas para los bobos!! #respectwinorlose!! https://t.co/XdHQyesSXm

Ronaldo battled with Alves throughout the Champions League tie, at one point aiming a kick that just missed the Brazilian.
Their rivalry goes back to their El Clasico days, with Alves spending eight seasons at Barcelona.
