Dani Alves and the 63 assists.
Towards the end of this past season, there were many question marks placed around Dani Alves. Is he actually a defender? What exactly does he bring to Barça’s starting XI? Of course, Dani Alves is a fantastic talent. He has redefined the definition of a right back, and despite the ambiguity of his position he remains arguably the best right back in the world.
A new La Liga season begins in a month, but since joining Barcelona from Sevilla in 2008 he has supplied 63 assists. 63. It’s an absurd number for any professional, especially a defender.
