36-year-old Dani Alves has turned back the clock at this year's Copa America, proving to be as adventurous as even down the right wing of the Selecao's attack. Entrusted with the captaincy of the national side in the absence of talisman Neymar, Alves has lead the 5 time World Champions and Copa America hosts on a rampaging run into the quarter-finals.

Alves' scored a sensational goal in Brazil's 5-0 demolition of Peru in their final group game, breaking into the box to finish after two one-twos with Arthur and Firmino respectively. The legendary ex-Barcelona man is now a free agent after announcing he would be leaving Paris Saint-Germain over the summer.

Chile's central midfield lynchpin Charles Aranguiz has been in sensational form in the Copa, having registered three assists in three games for La Roja. The 30-year-old Bayer Leverkusen midfield dynamo has been a tireless performer in the centre of the park for Reinaldo Rueda's team, providing consistent supply to the potent Chilean strike force of Alexis Sanchez and Eduardo Vargas.

A key member of the 2015 Copa America and 2016 Copa America Centenario-winning Chile sides, Aranguiz has enjoyed a good season with Bayer Leverkusen, recording 7 assists and 2 goals in the 2018-19 Bundesliga campaign.
