Dani Alves has played for some of the world’s biggest clubs and has played over 100 times for Brazil during a storied career – and a game against Middlesbrough still stands out.
The 39-year-old defender is one of the most successful players of the modern era, having won a record 46 titles in senior football. He has played for Sevilla, Barcelona, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Sao Paulo, as well as making 124 appearances for Brazil.
Alves will extend his remarkable legacy at the World Cup in Qatar after being named in Tite’s squad for the tournament. And the right-back, who now plays for UNAM in Mexico, says he owes his success, in part, to a formative win with Sevilla over Boro in the 2006 UEFA Cup final.
