Dani Alves is great against Monaco, and people call him the best right-back ever (tweets)

Dani Alves scored and assisted a goal as Juventus beat Monaco to book their place in the Champions League final, and fans started calling him the greatest ever.

The Brazil full-back has enjoyed a superb season with Juve since moving to Turin from Barcelona in the summer. Incredibly, Barca let him leave on a free transfers!

He has played a key role in Juventus' passage to the final of Europe's premier competition, especially in the semi-finals.

The 34-year-old assisted three and scored the other of their four goals against Monaco, and after the 2-1 second leg victory - which meant a 4-1 aggregate win for Juve - football fans lavished praise on the Brazilian legend.

In fact, some people were calling Alves the GOAT right-back, suggesting he is better than the likes of Cafu and Philipp Lahm.
