Widely regarded as one of the best full-backs of all time, he is also one of the most decorated players with 43 trophies.\n

Starting his career at Bahia in 2001, Alves went on to have a successful six-year spell with Sevilla, winning two UEFA Cups and the Copa del Rey. He joined Barcelona for \u20ac32.5 million,^[3] becoming the third-most expensive defender of all-time at the time. He won the treble in his first season with the club and in the next season, won the Supercopa de Espa\u00f1a, UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. Additionally, he helped the club to clinch another two Supercopa de Espa\u00f1a, five La Liga titles and two UEFA Champions League titles in the years that followed.\n

In 2016, Juventus signed Alves on a free transfer.^[4] He won the 2016\u201317 Serie A title and 2016\u201317 Coppa Italia in his only season with the side, also reaching the Champions League Final.^[5] In 2017, Alves joined French side Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, winning a domestic treble in his first season, followed by another league title the following season.^[6] In 2019, he returned to his home country, joining S\u00e3o Paulo, and winning the 2021 Campeonato Paulista with them. He returned to Barcelona in 2021 for one season, and joined Mexican club UNAM in 2022.\n

A full international for Brazil from 2006 to 2022, Alves is the nation's third most-capped player of all time. He was included in their squads for three FIFA World Cups and five Copa Am\u00e9rica tournaments, winning the 2007 and 2019 editions of the latter competition, as well as the 2009 and 2013 FIFA Confederations Cups. At the Summer Olympics in 2020, he won a gold medal. Individually, Alves was named in the IFFHS CONMEBOL Team of the Decade (2011\u20132020), FIFA Confederations Cup Team of the Tournament (2013), the Copa Am\u00e9rica Team of the Tournament (2019), and was awarded the Copa Am\u00e9rica Best Player (2019).\n

In 2023, Alves was detained in Spain and charged with sexual assault. He was convicted of this charge of rape in February 2024 and sentenced to four and a half years in prison.\n
