Dani Alves insists he will have no doubts if Lionel Messi passes him as the most decorated footballer in history because he admits that his former Barcelona team-mate is a better player than him.
Messi, 34, who has won the Ballon d’Or seven times, is considered the greatest talent ever to win and win another trophy as Paris Saint-Germain win the Ligue 1 title on Saturday. This marked 11 victories in the top flight of his career, adding to the trophy cabinet that included four UEFA Champions League winners and many more.
Despite the debate over what ‘great’ honor is, Alves, 38, has undoubtedly won more than any other player and shared a post on Instagram showing off his 43 working lips on Sunday. On the sidelines, the Barca defender has scored 39 Messi gongs and wrote an emphatic message to the Argentine captain.

Although Pochettino led PSG to a domestic victory, they exited the Champions League to Real Madrid under embarrassing conditions in the last 16, which he refers to after a draw with Lens. “I am very happy to win another title in the team, I made history with the 10th title,” he said.
“It is important for everyone and the team. Yes, it is not easy when you have a lot of disappointment in the Champions League but the players have been at a high level and are fighting to win the league.
“We have achieved that. I think it is really important to add another team trophy. We are very happy and we have to respect the trophy.” PSG have four games left this season and Messi has scored nine goals and 13 assists in all competitions.
