Dani Alves fires brutal dig at Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola during his unveiling for Paris Saint-Germain
Former Barcelona full-back says he has gone to France for a better chance of winning the Champions League
DANI ALVES fired a brutal dig at Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola during his Paris Saint-Germain unveiling.
The former Barcelona star insisted he picked France because it is there he feels he has a better chance of winning a fourth Champions League title.
Guardiola looked set to land the Brazilian full-back, 34, in a fairytale reunion.
But the ex-Juventus player snubbed them for a move to Paris where he was offered wages of £230,000 a week - and it could be argued an easier life.
Alves, who wore his new kit in full during the unveiling and joins on a two-year deal, said: "If Pep Guardiola and Manchester City feel hurt, I am sorry.
"But I have come here to be a champion.
"PSG have been flirting with me for a long time, three years, and now we are married!
"There's a very interesting project in Paris. I have friends here. I'm a man who loves challenges.
