Dani Alves has ended his second cycle at Barcelona. The return of the historic Brazilian player took place in November 2021, but Xavi informed him that he would not be considered for the 2022/2023 season and greeted him via Instagram with a video and some heartfelt words for the fans of the culé.
It has been more than 8 years dedicated to that club, those colors and that house. But like everything in life, the years go by, the roads diverge and the stories are written for another time in different places “wrote the expert side.

His second phase was very different from the first. At that time, he stayed with the club from the 2008/2009 season to 2015/2016 and grew up 23 titles: 6 Spanish Championships, 4 Copa del Rey, 4 Spanish Super Cups, 3 Champions League, 3 Club World Cup, 3 European Super Cups. In his recent experience, he was unable to lift any trophies and only played 17 games. Overall, they were 408 meetings with the Blaugrana shirt and becomes a true emblem of the institution.
Despite his 39 years, Dani Alves dreams of playing his own third World Cup -was present in 2010 and 2014- and to win the last title at national level that is missing. Although it has been a fixture for Tité – in fact he played as a starter against Japan and South Korea on his last tour in Asia – it is clear that he will have to find a club quickly to get there with the shoot. His intentions would be to stay in European football, but the idea of returning to play for a club in Brazil cannot be ruled out.
