Greatest La Liga XI of all time

Dani Alves – Right Back

Very few, if any, can match the Brazilian’s athleticism down the right-hand flank. The 33-year-old has arguably championed his position, often dubbed as one of the finest full-backs the game has ever seen.

Look past his comical appearances off the pitch and Alves is an intimidating force that can tie down agile wide men, meanwhile tormenting his opposing number with marauding runs and a fiery right boot. The defender saw the rise and end of the Guardiola empire and was one of the most consistent performers during the spell.

One of the most decorated players in the world, the Brazilian formed an intimidating partnership with Lionel Messi on the right-hand flank and during his 9 year spell at Barcelona, Alves won an incredible 6 La Liga titles.

The Brazilian full-back combination of Roberto Carlos and Dani Alves would definitely keep the opposition defence occupied all the time.
