Dani Alves insists he will have no qualms if Lionel Messi overtakes him as the most-decorated footballer in history because he admits his former Barcelona teammate is a better player than him.
Seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi, 34, is widely regarded as the greatest talent of all time and scooped yet another trophy as Paris Saint-Germain secured the Ligue 1 title on Saturday. This marked the 11th top-flight triumph of his career, adding to a trophy cabinet which includes four Champions League winners' medals and many more.
While there is some debate over what constitutes a 'major' honour, Alves, 38, has indisputably won more than any other player and shared an Instagram post showing off his 43 career trophies on Sunday. Alongside, the Barca defender listed Messi's 39 gongs and wrote an emphatic message to the Argentina captain.
