Before joining Barcelona, Alves spent 6 successful seasons in Sevilla, winning the Copa Del Rey and two UEFA Super Cups. With Barcelona, he won La Liga 6 times and the Copa Del Rey 4 times, apart from claiming numerous other trophies such as the Club World Cup and the Champions League 3 thrice!

A born achiever, Alves then moved to the Serie A with Juventus, going on to win the Serie A and the Coppa Italia in 2017, putting in a memorable and commendable performance for the ages in the Champions League final against Real Madrid. Even after joining PSG in France, his trend of winning throughout his career showed no signs of stopping as he added Ligue 1 and Coupe De France to his burgeoning trophy cabinet.

At 35, Dani Alves is still putting in remarkable performances on a weekly basis at the highest level for the Parisian Club and shows no signs of stopping. Throughout his career, Alves has always been outdoing himself and has been one of the shining beacons in the world of football.
