Barcelona legend Dani Alves has taken a shot at the club, claiming that Barcelona no longer care about the legends of the club, who helped made history at the club.

The veteran right-back  made a surprise return to the Camp Nou in January, upon the appointment of club legend Xavi Hernandez, as the new manager.

Alves was brought in to help the development of a young squad, but ended up playing a key role himself.

The Brazilian racked up 16 appearances across all competitions, including 13 starts in La Liga, as he helped the team to a second place finish.

The 39-year-old right-back was told at the end of the season that his contract will not be renewed.

Alves has now claimed that the legends of the club haven’t been treated right.

“Since I arrived, I made it very clear that I wasn’t any more a 20-year-old guy and that I wanted things to be done head-on, without hiding things,” the Brazilian icon told the Guardian.

“But this club has sinned in recent years. Barcelona don’t care about the people who made history for the club.

“As a Barca fan, I would like Barcelona to do things differently. I’m not talking about myself because my situation was another scenario. I am eternally grateful to Xavi and the president for bringing me back.

“I found a club full of young people with incredible ideas on the pitch. But it needs to improve the work outside the field.

“The mindset is totally opposite to what we built a few years ago. Everything that happens on the field is a reflection of what happens outside.

“I’m supporting for Barcelona to come back to the top, but it’s super-complicated. Football is more balanced, it’s a collective game. And that has been left out at the club.”
