Did Dani Alves still have something to offer Barcelona? (0:46)

Gab and Juls are wondering if it's a smart move for Barcelona to let him go again. 0:47

After 17 appearances, one goal and one red card, Dani Alves has ended his second spell at Barcelona without a trophy.

No male professional player has ever lifted as many senior trophies for club and country as the Brazil international, who has amassed a phenomenal collection of silverware with 44 winners' medals to his name.

Although there are no official record books for such things, Alves is one of the game's most flamboyant dressers and mischievous Characters.

At least one trophy has been collected by the right-back at every club he has ever played for.

The two victories in the Supercopa de Catalunya that he enjoyed at Barcelona, as well as the 2003FIFA Under-20 World Cup or even the Olympic gold medal he won for Brazil, are not included in the tally.

He didn't say where he was going next, but he did say that he wasn't done yet with the sign-off: "May the world never forget: even a lion that is 39 years old continues to."

Just because he's been a professional footballer for more than half his life doesn't mean he's ready to call it quits. He is the captain of the Brazil national team and led them to victory in the gold medal match at the Tokyo Olympics last year, despite missing the tournament due to injury.

With the World Cup only five months away, Alves started both of Brazil's preseason games this month, playing for the whole of the 6-1 win over South Korea and the 1-0 victory against Japan.

Caesar's Sportsbook has Brazil as the current favourite to win the World Cup and claim their sixth title, which would make them the most successful nation in the tournament's history. He needs a new club to play for in the near future.
