"Without a doubt the icing on the cake would be to win a World Cup with Brazil. The difference between the World Cup and the [UEFA] Champions League is that with a World Cup you make a country happy. In the Champions League it's only a certain sector [of fans].

Alves provided an insight into his close friendship with Brazil and Paris Saint-Germain teammate Neymar, with whom he also played at Barcelona from 2013 to 2017.

According to Alves, Neymar was affected by criticism of his exaggerated reaction to fouls during the 2018 World Cup.

"There's no way that he couldn't have been," Alves said. "He is a human being, not a machine. Neymar is like a son to me... I know what goes through his head. But Neymar is very intelligent. He has something that makes others envious : He is a millionaire, famous and handsome."
