Dani Alves isn't one to hide his emotions.
In the buildup to Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final, the Brazilian defender - who joined Juventus last season - spoke fondly of his former club, Barcelona, and the Camp Nou, where he plied his trade for almost a decade.
"I am happy to be coming back to Camp Nou, I'm returning home," he told Barcelona's official website. "I am a Barca fan, all I experienced here was incredible but I will have to leave that all to one side once the game begins."
So, when Alves got a glimpse of the Camp Nou, he couldn't resist the temptation to kneel down and kiss the pitch.
