Dani Alves has been phenomenal ever since his arrival back to the Nou Camp. The defender is well known to be a veteran in the footballing world, and is well respected by every player.

This is not the first time this season that Dani Alves has praised Karim Benzema. Already, the Barcelona fullback had publicly congratulated Benzema after the French international scored a phenomenal hat-trick against PSG in the round of 16 comeback.

“I don’t care if he is a Madrid player, but which player, which player is Karim Benzema! I love this game,” said the Brazilian.
