After beating Argentina, Dani Alves has published a latter in his Instagram to send an emotional message to Messi.

"Football is often about winning, often about losing, however, never cease to exist the affection, respect, admiration and connection for those who helped you put food in the house...  I will always be grateful to those who helped me put my name in the history of football. 

"The greatness of people is measured not only by the countries they represent but also by the feelings they express in the game. Often, it's about what's behind it all."

"Thank you for being part of my life and it is always a great honour to have you close to me, brother. Even if we are separated by shirts, we are connected by our essences! My respect!"
