'Don't make such a fuss' - Boateng defends Alaba after kissing Real Madrid badge

The Austria international caused a stir in Germany when he was pictured planting his lips on his new club's badge at his unveiling

Jerome Boateng has defended former Bayern Munich team-mate David Alaba after the defender was criticised for kissing the Real Madrid badge.

Alaba moved to the Spanish side on a free transfer this year and was pictured kissing the badge on the jersey when he was unveiled as a Madrid player.

Bayern president Herbert Hainer expressed his "surprise" at seeing the Austria international do so after spending 13 years and winning 10 Bundesliga and two Champions League titles with the German giants.
