Dani Alves the blushing bride and Balotelli's new boots - Ligue 1 Social

he PSG man returned to action alongside his 'bad boy' co-star Neymar while the Italian forward found a novel way to thank his nearest and dearest
Dani Alves made his return to action with Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday against Lille after several weeks out due to suspension.
The Brazilian veteran has had a good deal of time on his hands since he was sent off for dissent against Lyon, and it does not take too much for the right-back, whose catchphrase on social media has become 'good crazy', to do something mad on Instagram.
This week’s antics, however, have been extreme even for the former Barcelona and Juventus star.
Playing the blushing bride, dressed all in white, he throws a bouquet of flowers over his head to his waiting friends. In the background, a song is playing, with the lyrics 'Say your daughter can be mine' prominent.
It proved to be a successful return to action for Alves, who teamed up with Neymar to help PSG to a 3-0 away win at Lille.
On his Instagram post celebrating the victory, he was in musical mood once again, with the lyrics to the popular comedy movie ‘Bad Boys’.
“Bad boys, bad boys Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do When they come for you?” he posted. Given he was just coming back from a ban and Neymar had courted controversy over a fake handshake earlier in the week, it seemed very apt.
Neymar, meanwhile, showed off his free-kick skills by scoring a fine set piece against Lille, firing a powerful, bending shot into the net from the edge of the area.
But the superstar striker also showed he is an accomplished model, picking out a few of his favourite shots of the week on his Instagram feed.
Kylian Mbappe, meanwhile, has been more focused on football. He welcomed new signing Lassana Diarra to the club with a post on his Instagram feed that included the former Real Madrid midfielder.
Tagged simply “Hey”, the attacker was caught trotting out for training at PSG’s Camp des Loges with the midfielder.
He clearly enjoyed himself at training this week, posting this video of a particularly successful exercise for the attacker.
On the south coast, Mario Balotelli’s Nice side fell to a 1-0 defeat against Toulouse, though their talismanic striker was not available due to a ban.
Nice have yet to win in the league this season when Balotelli has been absent, yet when he returns to the field he will have some special boots to wear.
His supplier has given him a pair that have the names of all of those people special to him stitched into them in various locations, with the flags of Ghana and Italy present.
The attacker will hope they bring him luck next week, when Nice tackle Dijon in the league. Meanwhile, PSG will go to Toulouse, while Sunday night’s big game sees Lyon host Rennes.

Nemanja Matic exclusive: Man Utd must win almost every game but title race isn't over

Nemanja Matic refuses to write off Manchester United's chances in the title race Nemanja Matic says Manchester United are not out of the title race, but admits they must win almost every game for the rest of the season to catch Manchester City. Man Utd's 2-1 defeat by rivals City on Sunday left them 11 points behind the Premier League leaders with just 16 games played. Many have been writing City's rivals off, such is the dominance of Pep Guardiola's unbeaten side, but Matic says there is a long way to go yet. W Brom vs Man Utd He told Soccer Saturday : "The gap is big, obviously 11 points is a lot, but the league is not finished. I'm sure there will be very interesting games until the end, and of course that they will drop some points. We will see what will happen. "As I say there are still many games to play and I th...

Clasico conspiracy? The truth on whether Barcelona or Real Madrid receive more red cards

Clasico conspiracy? The truth on whether Barcelona or Real Madrid receive more red cards.   Both Clasico clubs have regularly claimed to have been victimised by officials but do the official stats support either side's case? Clement Lenglet's dismissal for an alleged elbow on Pere Pons in Barcelona's Liga draw with Girona on Sunday caused all sorts of controversy. Even Pons was surprised by referee Gil Manzano's VAR-assisted decision to dismiss Lenglet, with the midfielder admitting afterwards that he thought that he had fouled the French defender. "I took a blow but when I got up, I apologised to Lenglet and shook his hand because I thought it was my fault," he confessed. As bemused Barca boss Ernesto Valverde pointed out afterwards, "It's the first time that the player who is sent off receives an apology from his rival for fouling him!" It was a significant call, too, as Barcelona were leading through a Lionel Messi...
