The GOAT of right-backs! Ageless Dani Alves has surpassed Cafu as best of all time

Whether he is strutting in his wife’s heels on social media or flying past an unsuspecting opponent on the football pitch, Dani Alves rarely fails to draw attention.

The Bahia native, who turned 36 in May, has become something of a cult superstar thanks to his off-field antics, delighting fans with videos of his off-beat – so as not to say wholly insane – behaviour.

But it is on the field where Alves really shows what he is made of. At an age where most players are hanging up their boots, he has the drive, talent and fitness to keep pushing himself to the limit – and Brazil, for one, could not be more grateful.
