"This club has a lot of resilience, it has had to reinvent itself several times. You have to hold on to that power that this club has to return it to where it deserves to be. It is a club made to win, to be ahead. We have to keep winning, for people to want to be like Barca.”

Alves believes Xavi is the best possible coach for Barcelona youngsters like Gavi,

"They have one of the best people who can teach them,"

Alves added.

"They have the best possible teacher, they have to pay attention to what he teaches them.

"They have the qualities to be top, but it is up to them to write their own story. We will help them to be at the top and make their story."
