Dani Alves explains PSG shirt swap to No. 13

Dani Alves has switched his shirt number at Paris Saint-Germain, with the Brazilian opting to take on 13 for the 2018-19 campaign.

The 35-year-old full-back took jersey 32 upon arriving at Parc des Princes in the summer of 2017.

He helped PSG to a domestic quadruple during his debut campaign, only to then suffer an untimely injury.

A knee problem picked up in the French Cup final saw Alves miss out on a place in Brazil’s squad for the 2018 World Cup .

He is still working his way back from that ailment, but is readying himself for a return to action.
