There's enough pressure involved in football (a.k.a. soccer) game situations when it comes to corner kicks. What might add a little more pressure? How about getting ready for a corner kick while getting spit on by the opposing fans?
In a recent Argentina football match where the Boca Juniors visited Olimpo, Boca's Juan Roman Riquelme attempted to take a corner kick. With nothing but a fence right outside the playing area separating the fans from the players, some of the hometown Olimpo fans used it as an opportunity to get up close and personal with Riquelme, and as seen from the video, a couple of fans stepped over the line by spitting on Riquelme.
Riquelme showed class as he restrained from any attempt at retaliation, and actually laughed for a moment before taking the kick.
