On November 17th in China time, La Liga giants FC Barcelona officially released a message announcing that star Alves, who returned to the team's lineup not long ago, will wear the No. 8 gown, a symbol of glory.
It's worth noting that this is the fifth shirt Alves has worn during his time at Barcelona, as he's also worn numbers 20, 2, 22 and 6. The number 8 is the iconic number of his former teammate Iniesta.
