If there is a footballer in the world who is known throughout his long career in taking Olympic laps with his clubs, it's Dani Alves. Currently defending the colors of Sao Paulo, at Brasileirao he ended a positive streak that neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo reached: being able to shout champion in 16 consecutive seasons. It is that a goal by Roni, Palmeiras player, 93 minutes into the commitment that they played last weekend, deprived his team of having mathematical chances of consecrating themselves, so for the first time since the 2005-2006 season it is not enough the glory.

Dani Alves knew how to shine in Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, an entity in which he won five Liga, four Copa del Rey and an equal number of Spanish Super Cup trophies. At the time of him, on a continental level, in the Catalan entity he raised three Champions League, three European Super Cups and three Club World Cups. But before reaching the culé, he also won two Europa League and a European Super Cup with Sevilla.

From Barcelona he emigrated to Turin, where he joined Juventus. And although his stay at the northern Italian club was not very long, the time that he defended his colors was enough for him to win a Serie A and a Super Cup in that country. He alone was a season in Vecchia Signora, so he could not win too many titles. He packed his bags and moved to France, to defend the colors of Paris Saint-Germain. In the capital entity he was key in obtaining two Ligue 1s, an equal number of the French Cup, a Super Cup and a League Cup.

After his brilliant passage through Europe, the defender returned to football in his country, to play in Sao Paulo. And in an extremely atypical season, which was long interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic and which has not yet concluded, at his new club he did not manage to win any title, so the incredible positive streak that neither Messi nor Ronaldo was cut off they have to their credit, since for different reasons, they never reached 16 consecutive seasons lifting at least one champion trophy.

He's a born winner
In his career he has 40 trophies, something that no other player has ever achieved. In addition, they do not include the Northwest Cups of 2001 and 2002 - since they are regional titles - nor the U-20 World Cup that he won in 2003, since it is a youth tournament. As for the national team, with which he is missing to win a gold medal at the Olympic Games and a World Cup, he has won: two America's Cups and two Confederations Cups.
