Dani Alves started his club career at Esporte Clube Bahia Brazil and moved to Sevilla at the tender age of 17. He played a huge role in Sevilla's resurgence in Spain and Europe, managing to help them win as many as 5 trophies, in a span of 15 months. While the team's performances dipped in 2006/07 and 2007/08, Alves continued to perform at the highest level, drawing comparisons with the legendary Cafu. A bonafide star in the making, he was also a fan-favourite, with his eccentric personality. Despite the player's desire to move, Sevilla blocked his transfer to Chelsea in the summer of 2007, forcing him to stay put; an year later, he would be the first signing of the "Pep Era".
