Dani Alves denies wiping nose on Ronaldo

Paris Saint-Germain star Dani Alves says reports he wiped his nose on Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo in Tuesday's Champions League match are "nonsense".

Video footage appeared to show Alves rubbing his nose with his fingers and then wiping them on Ronaldo's sleeve.

The pair had a running battle during Madrid's 2-1 win at the Parc des Princes, with Ronaldo fortunate to avoid punishment after aiming a petulant kick out at Alves.

But Alves, a former rival from his time at Barcelona, refuted claims he had taken revenge on Ronaldo by wiping his nose on the Portugal international.
