Alves, though, decided to play a cheeky prank on one of the mascots. 

In a nonchalant manner, he pulled the hair of the girl who was led out by Alex Sandro, standing just a little to his left. By the time she had looked round to see what had happened, the 36-year-old was looking the other way.

Alves didn’t quite get away with it – but thankfully for him the mascot who spotted his action saw the funny side too!
