Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta defined Daniel Alves as "the best right-back in the entire world" as the club signed him for the astonishing sum of €35 million in 2008. It was one of the most expensive sums ever paid for a defender and few would argue with his assessment.

Strengths: His speed, which he often uses as an attacking weapon, makes him another forward in the line-up.

Career high: Scored a goal against Argentina in the final game of the Copa America 2007, as Brazil won the final.

Career low: Missing the Champions League final in 2009 through suspension.

Style: A strong, fast player on both sides of the field
