Alves himself has spoken a lot about the possibility of the former Argentinian international beating him, something which the Brazilian takes with calm. He has even classed it as "another assist" towards Messi.
"If some day you have to be beaten, let it be by someone better than you. This publication is not because of ego, it's just so that you believe in yourself as well. Establish your destiny and fight every day until the target arrives!, Alves posted three months ago about Messi in his official Instagram account.
