The Brazilian, who joined Barca from Sevilla in the summer for 29 million Euros, says that he couldn’t have wished for a better start with the Blaugrana.

"I am very happy and every day I feel more convinced that I made the right decision," Alves was quoted saying after Barca's 5-2 win over Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League.

"I am sharing a dressing room with some of the best players in Europe and the world. It is an honor to be experiencing this and I hope it lasts for as long as possible."

Despite admitting that it was hard to leave Sevilla after six successful years, Alves said that he already feels at home in Barcelona.

"It has all happened so fast, even our adaptation, because it can be hard to adapt to a new city."

The 25-year-old compared what he feels to living an everyday beautiful dream.

"The truth is that if anybody wakes me up, I’ll get angry, because it’s very special and passionate to experience what I am experiencing here in Barcelona. If what I am having is a dream, then I hope nobody wakes me up."
