During a trophy-laden eight years with Barcelona the 34-year-old Brazilian right back won the Champions League three times as well as three Club World Cups and three UEFA Super Cups. Add in the two UEFA Cups he won with Sevilla and it is obvious why Juventus feel that in Alves they have a player who can guide them to European glory. He won the Champions League in 2008-09 and 2010-11 and again in 2014-15 with Barca when Juventus were their victims in the final. After nearly a decade being a thorn in the left-hand side of a succession of Real Madrid teams with Barca, Alves plays down the significance of Saturday's opponents. "It's special to me but it's not Dani Alves v Real Madrid, it's Juventus v Real Madrid," he said.
