Defender Dani Alves rolled back the years to spur Brazil to a 2-1 win over Spain in the Tokyo Games soccer final on Saturday, enabling him to add an Olympic gold medal to a trophy cabinet already bursting with silverware.
A three-time Champions League winner with Barcelona, he had previously enjoyed international success in the Confederations Cup and the Copa America, but the Olympic final was the first time he came out on top in a global tournament.
"My captain Dani, he's unbelievable, he helps everyone. I think this feeling, he comes to the group and the feeling goes up. He's unbelievable, I don't have words for him," Brazilian goalscorer Matheus Cunha told reporters. Brazil became the fifth country to win back-to-back Olympic golds, after Britain , Uruguay , Hungary and Argentina .
