Dani Alves was an attacking right-back of extraordinary energy and adventure, and one of the most decorated footballers in the game’s history. A Brazil international, he made his name at Sevilla before joining Barcelona, where his overlapping runs and understanding with Lionel Messi down the right flank helped drive a period of near-total dominance.
He won a vast collection of trophies across spells at Barcelona, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, marrying relentless forward thrust with quick feet and pinpoint delivery. Few full-backs have contributed so consistently to attack while sustaining success at the highest level for so long.
