Sofyan Amrabat was spotted eating a banana during a break in the match against Inter, which caught the attention of Fiorentina supporters. Nevertheless, there was a very valid reason why he needed to eat at that moment.
The match, which began at 17.00 UK time and ended with a 1-0 win at San Siro, included the Moroccan international as a substitute.
Amrabat took advantage of a pause in play for an injury even though there were just a few minutes remaining in the game to hurry to the sidelines and rapidly devour a banana.
That caused some confusion at such a pivotal time in the game, but it is understandable given that Amrabat is Muslim and was fasting in observance of Ramadan.
As a result, he is prohibited from eating or drinking anything until after the sun has set, which in this instance occurred in the closing seconds of the game.
The midfielder hadn't eaten all day, but was keen to keep his stamina up and broke his fast by hastily devouring a banana after dusk.
Ramadan will go till the evening of April 21.
