Emotional Dani Alves breaks down after winning Olympic gold with Brazil as he adds 43RD trophy to glittering cabinet
DANI ALVES broke down with emotion after clinching a remarkable 43RD trophy of his career.
The former Barcelona and Juventus man, 38, helped Brazil to a 2-1 victory over Spain which saw them defend their Olympic title in Tokyo.
The gold medal Alves collected following Brazil's triumph will go alongside the other 42 trophies he has won during his remarkable 20 years as a player.
Those include six La Liga titles, five Copa del Reys and five Super Cups during his time in Spain with Sevilla and Barcelona.
He also lifted the Champions League three times with Barca in 2009, 2011 and 2015.
Alves then ended his eight-year spell with the Catalan club in 2016, leaving to join Juventus.
The Brazilian right-back enjoyed just one season with the Italian side but still managed to win a Serie A and Coppa Italia double.
Paris Saint-Germain was his next destination as he claimed two Ligue 1 titles and seven trophies in total during his time in the French capital.
And then in 2019 Alves returned to his home country of Brazil to play for Sao Paulo, where he has gone on to win the Campeonato Paulista league title.
