Wardrobe malfunctions happen – it's just unfortunate that, sometimes, it happens in front of millions of fans at the pinnacle of sport.
Barcelona star Gavi is the most recent superstar to suffer the embarrassing gaffe, when his shorts fell down – exposing his bare backside. And fans were quick to pick up on the incident on social media, but Gavi isn't the only superstar that has experienced a wardrobe malfunction.
And from nip slips to ripped pants – and a yell of "d*** came out" in between – Daily Star Sport is looking at nine wardrobe malfunctions that have happened on the biggest stage.

Gavi
Gavi was competing with Athletic Bilbao defender Oscar de Marcos down the wing on Sunday evening, when the pair tangled, sending them down to the floor.
However, unfortunately for Gavi, his shorts rode down his legs, exposing his bare backside for the millions of TV viewers watching La Liga. And the image was quickly snapped and shared on social media as fans joked about the gaffe.
Gavi also produced a sublime piece of defending, putting his head on the line by sliding into the ball head-first to thwart a Bilbao attack.

Chris Jones
Chris Jones is a two times Super Bowl winner, and he's been selected for the pro bowl on four separate occasions. However, his NFL career had already had its defining moment before it had even started.
Ahead of the NFL draft, Jones had been undertaking baseline tests for the Combine. The defensive tackle lined up for his 40-yard dash when – as Jones himself put it – his "d*** came out".
Jones immediately hit the deck, and then scrambled to protect his modesty. However, he could laugh and joke about it afterwards with the official.
Ekaterina Rubleva
Ekaterina Rubleva had her eyes on European Championship gold in 2009 when she took to the ice for her figure skating routine with her partner Ivan Shefer.
The pair had been making their way through their routine, when Shefer went to twirl Rubleva, whose pink dress left little to the imagination. However, holding her arm above her head was too much stress on the dress, and it slipped down, exposing her right breast.
However, the pair carried on to finish – but Rubleva could be seen looking mortified as she made her way off the ice.
Gillian Cooke
Gillian Cooke was ready to take on her, and her team's, bobsled run at the 2010 World Championships when her lycra gave way, exposing her backside and g-string to the world.
Speaking about the incident later, she said: "It’s a good way to break the ice, especially with new team-mates — it always gets a laugh. I blocked it out until I got in the sleigh and sat down, when I was suddenly reminded it was mighty cold."
“But there was interest in that clip from all over the world. The Netherlands were very keen on it for some reason. The dirty Dutch.”
Paul Scholes
You've seen the picture, everyone has.
Paul Scholes is one of the Premier League's greatest-ever players – and arguably one of the best to pull on the Three Lions shirt. However, alongside memories of his incredible passing ability, is the unfortunate image of his genitals mid-game.
All these years later, it's still baffling Scholes decided to brave the elements commando – while wearing a baggy pair of shorts.
Frenkie de Jong
Another Barcelona player to make this list, and like Gavi, it happened this season.
The Catalan side had welcomed Manchester City for a friendly – strangely after the season had started – for a high-action 3-3 draw. But as Rico Lewis and Frenkie de Jong battled for the ball, the Englishman grabbed De Jong's shorts – exposing him.
At least it happened in a friendly…
Olga Graf
We're being a bit cheeky with this entry, as Olga Graf was just moments away from baring it all after winning bronze at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Graf had unzipped her skinsuit, only to quickly realise she wasn't wearing anything underneath, zipping it back up. She later said: "I totally forgot. We have very good suits and they are very tight. … You just want to breathe and you want to take off your suit.
"Only afterwards did I realise that maybe this video will appear on YouTube. But I don't think it will be so bad."
Blake Shinn
Jockey Blake Shinn was racing down the home straight at Canterbury Racecourse in 2015, when his trousers started to ride down his legs.
However, Shinn was quick to see the funny side of things: "I usually come here and stay focused in search of winners. People wouldn't know I'm that cheeky.
"I was more worried about winning the race. They [trousers] went just after the start and there was nothing I could do."
Josef Urban
Poor Josef Urban, he was so focused on delivering his marathon personal best – that he hadn't noticed, or felt, his crown jewels were on full display.
However, the Kosice Peace Marathon in Slovakia wasn't a complete write off for Urban, who smashed his personal best and finished in the top ten.
