Dani Alves vs FC Porto - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

With Bayern captain Philipp Lahm having officially retired from football, the club is left with Joshua Kimmich and Rafinha to fill the gap. While it may not sound too bad on paper, the reality is that none of them can compare to the 2014 World Champion.

However, one fullback who does belong up there with the best of his generation is certainly Dani Alves. After guiding Juventus to the final of the Champions League with heroic performances against FC Porto, FC Barcelona and AS Monaco, the Brazilian decided to leave the club and was available on a free.

To win the greatest competition in club football, it is a player like Alves who can add the experience and winning mentality to the team. Despite being 34, Dani was involved in 6 goals and 7 assists for the champions of Italy, last season.
