It was crazy but so good Dani, thank you from every Barca fan

There can’t be too many 39-year-olds that have Dani Alves’ youthful exuberance, let alone the fitness that ensured he had a memorable final half season at Barca.

The man is a legend, and I don’t use the word lightly.

Everything he stands for on and off the pitch… time to doff our collective caps. What a man! What a player!

There have always been a few killjoys in the Barca fan base who seem to feel that the Brazilian’s persona made him, and by association Barca, something of a laughing stock.

I’m sure I speak for many on here when I say that nothing could be further from the truth.
