Dani Alves says playing for Barcelona again is a ‘special gift’

Dani Alves made his second ‘debut’ for Barcelona on Wednesday, playing all 90 minutes against Linares in the Copa del Rey.

It was a winning return for the Brazilian as Barca recovered from going a goal down to win 2-1 and progress to the next round.

Alves was happy to speak to the press after the game and made it clear once again how thrilled he is to be back in a Barcelona shirt.

“I’m really happy. A film’s going through my mind. After everything that’s happened, to play another official game for Barcelona is such a special gift for me,” he said.
