Dani Alves

Former Barcelona defender DaniAlves has proven himself crucial to the UEFA Champions League dream of Juventus.

The Brazilian proved this with his brilliant display in the semi-final clash with Monaco. He contributed both assists that helped Gonzalo Higuain net a brace against the youthful French side. They go into the return leg at home with full confidence as they are almost assured of a favourable result.

Former Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez says that the club should consider bringing back defender Dani Alves to the club in the summer.

The Brazilian joined Juventus on a free transfer in the summer. He has already made a huge impact at the Italian club, who have been able to secure a 3-0 win over Barcelona in the first leg at the Juventus stadium. As Alves prepares for a return to the Camp Nou where he spent eight years of his career, Xavi has instigated the talk about a potential return to the Spanish outfit on a permanent basis.

Juventus defender Dani Alves reckons that the club are in good condition to win the Champions League this season.

Even though Juventus are looking to win the domestic league title for a sixth consecutive season, they have been unable to win the Champions League. Inside, their last success in the tournament was back in 1996 when the likes of Alessandro del Piero were at the peak of their careers. Several generations of players have since come and gone, but Italian club have been unable to make a difference. The closest that Juventus have come since then is reaching two finals, with the most recent being in the 2014-15 season when they were beaten by Barcelona.

Former Barcelona defender Dani Alves has slammed the directors of the club, labelling them “very false and ungrateful.”

The Brazil international left Camp Nou last year on a free transfer move to Turin to play for the Serie A defending champions Juventus. Spanish outfit ABC interviewed him where he spoke badly about the management of Barcelona.

Almost everyone has written off the hopes of Barcelona getting back into the Champions League after suffering a 4-0 loss against Paris St Germain in the last 16 of the competition. No team in the history of European football has been able to overturn a 4-0 deficit from the first leg.

Former Barcelona defender Dani Alves, though, thinks that if there is any team that can achieve this feat, it may very well be the Catalan club. The Brazilian defender is widely known for his long spell with the Catalan club. He moved to the Camp Nou in the summer of 2008 for a figure of £ 25 million.

Juventus are on the verge of winning a historic sixth Serie A title on the spin. No team in the history of Italian football has won the crown more than five times on the bounce, with Inter Milan the last before I Bianconeri to achieve that feat during the early '00s.

Massimiliano Allegri’s men have been irrepressible in their bid to become the first to win sixth titles on the bounce, adding to their already long list of achievements since their revival under Antonio Conte in 2011 as the dominant force in the country.

Massimiliano Allegri reckons registering victories in top flight games is not the simplest thing in the world and people should realize that no team can do that every week.

Juventus finds itself in the line of fire in spite of leading the Italian league table and Allegri is not really amused by that.

Dani Alves is hoping that Sevilla will be able to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League despite a recent defeat against Juventus.

Alves, once of Sevilla, came up against his former club in the colours of Juventus, who have been looking to become successful in the Champions League for more than two decades now.

Genoa shocked Serie A defending champions Juventus, defeating them 3-1 and leaving their stars injured.

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone’s son, Giovanni grabbed a brace in the convincing victory over Juve. Defender Leonardo Bonucci and Dani Alves were forced out due to injuries, complicating the situation for the Bianconeri.

Brazil right back Dani Alves claims that national team boss Tite reminds him of former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola in a number of ways.

Brazil recently appointed the former Corinthians manager, who is widely known as a pragmatic coach unlike those associated with Brazil. However, this pragmatism has brought him a lot of success at club level. It will be his first major job in charge of the Brazilian national team, which has been coming on the back of several disappointments in recent years.
