#1 Dani Alves - 44 trophies

Dani Alves has returned to Barcelona after five years.

Dani Alves holds the distinction of being the most decorated player in the 21st century. He is also the most decorated player of all time. He is also the only player with more than 40 trophies to his name.

The right-back impressed with his offensive abilities as a full-back, and is much better known for his crosses and assists than his defensive ability. He can also play in midfield, spending most of his time as a central midfielder in his two-year stint with Sao Paolo.

Alves has enjoyed a fruitful spell at every club. It's a shame that for a player that has won so many trophies, the FIFA World Cup is not in his collection. However, he is a two-time Copa America winner. He took part in the qualification campaign for the 2022 edition of the World Cup. It remains to be seen whether he'll be called up for the main event next year.

Alves' major titles include six La Liga titles, three Champions League titles, one Serie A title and two Ligue 1 titles, among others.
