Agreed. Alves is in my opinion showing more and more just how valuable he is to this team, and is putting in a very strong case for his renewal.
I mean, he may be 31, but all thirty-one year olds are not created equal. He can run up and down that right hand flank week in and week out and we never talk about him being tired, it's never even a concern. His cardio is just something else, and he rarely gets injured. He is playing really well right now, in fact there is not one RB in the world that I'd place over him at the moment.
Him and Pique have both "come back to life" and are looking completely refreshed under Luchos management, it's fantastic to watch.
He might have 2-3 more great years at Barca if he keeps this up. I think he should get that 2+1 contract, I really would miss him like crazy if he left this summer.
