Barcelona's Dani Alves Keen To Pick Up More Medals


Barcelona are aiming for more silverware and so is their star full-back...

Daniel Alves has joked ahead of the European Super Cup in Monaco that if he continues to win more trophies and medals then he may have to buy a bigger house.

The Brazilian full-back has continued to collect prizes since moving to Barcelona from Sevilla last summer as he added a fourth piece of silverware to his collection at Camp Nou alone.

A treble last term and Spanish Super Cup this month added to two UEFA Cup medals, a European Super Cup, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup haul with Sevilla.

"At home, I have created some extra space for my medals. And if I need to rent a bigger house, no problem," he told reporters in Monaco.

"I do not like to see empty spaces in my trophy room and I want to win at least ten or 12 more."

If Alves is to add to his collection then he will have to be on form for Barca as they take on UEFA Cup winners Shakhtar Donetsk.

"We have to concentrate very hard because it’s very motivating for the opponent to be able to beat a European champion like Barca. We hope to play well and that there are no surprises," he added.

"If the pitch is bad it’ll be bad for both sides. Whatever the case we’re here to win the title independently of the state of the pitch."
