Just before half time he had his own say. Danijel Subasic punched the ball to the edge of the box while clearing a corner and Alves smashed a volley beyond the reach of the Croatian.
It is not only for his attacking contributions that Alves deserves to be lauded. Juve have conceded only one goal in the Champions League since beating Sevilla 3-1 in November.
Alves has featured in five and four-man back lines across this season, as well as a right winger in a 4-2-3-1 system. He has demonstrated his qualities and has rarely been found wanting. This may well be the week of his 34th birthday but the veteran right back is showing how badly Barcelona mistakenly letting him go.
