Under the colors of the Blaugranas, Alves won 23 titles and played 408 matches for 22 goals scored and 105 offerings delivered during his time at Barça (2008-2016 and 2021-2022).
Alves, fallen hero of Brazil
In his hometown of Juazeiro, Brazil, residents demanded the removal of a statue bearing the image of the double South American champion with the Seleção in 2007 and 2019.
