Dani Alves helped Juventus put one foot in the Champions League final this evening after setting up two goals against Monaco – and everybody is wondering why exactly Barcelona let him leave.
The Serie A giants travelled to Monte Carlo as favourite to progress to the final in Cardiff later this month, and as we told you at the time, it took Gonzalo Higuain less than half an hour to open the scoring and deliver Juve a precious away goal.

However, the Argentine striker’s deadly finish owed a debt to Alves’s beautiful backheel in the build-up.
As if that wasn’t enough, Higuain added a second early into the second-half, and who was the provider? That’s right, Dani Alves, with a perfectly weighted chipped cross:

There’s still a long way to go in the tie overall, but given Barcelona aren’t even in the competition any more, a lot of fans on social media are clueless as to why the Catalan giants would let such a player leave:

So why Dani Alves actually left Barcelona?Definitely not because he isn't top class anymore. He is #MONJUV #Juventus #UEFA_Champions_League

How much does Barcelona regret letting Dani Alves get away? Still so very good, and would have been a huge help to Barca this year.
