Daniel Alves

He was good, but not as RB yesterday, LOL. During the 1st half it sometimes looked like he was playing 9 instead of Suarez. I like how flexible we play now, especially withMessi back Alves and Rakitic are often playing more forward than him, Alba too is not glued on left line constantly - see our 4th goal against Real.

If he did, we would have seen both Dani and Masche in the stands, with a black eye.
The MSN was unreal at that goal, they must be cheating, no one can play that good

Not only did he not ruin it, he also saved it. I think if he didn't block the defender he would've been able to clear it.

The commentator on my stream picked up on that suggesting that Alves possible obstructed him unfairly.

Alves responds to former Real Madrid player online
"I didn't believe Guti when he told me I was amazing! He lies a lot"
Dani Alves used social media to send a message to Guti in response to some comments the former Real Madrid midfielder made on the TV programme El Chiringuito.
"Alves is jumping on Piqué's bandwagon. He wants to gain new fans in Barcelona which he hasn't been able to do with his playing recently. It's true that he's lost some form, not just this year, but last year too. We've seen his best and he's on his way down. He's still there because Barcelona haven't been able to sign anyone recently, otherwise Alves would have already left Barcelona", Guti said.
Alves answered: "That's why I didn't believe @GUTY14HAZ when he told me in Ibiza that I was amazing! Hahaha, he lies a lot. Sending you a hug ace".
Guti, meanwhile, replied: "@danialvesd2 @elchiringuitotv It's four or five years since we met

This! Exactly what I had in mind when I saw Dani jumping in front of the keeper. He had no intention of touching the ball, just protecting it from the onrushing defender.

I dunno. According to the rules every action where you block a player with no intention to play the ball is a foul. If they actually followed that rule however there would be 500 freekicks every game. Just think about how many times a defender blocks the attacker during corners.
I think the ball has to be in playing distance. If it's not, it's always a foul. Can't really remember if Alves was in playing distance though... I guess he was.

You're welcome
But in Dani's situation it is hard to determine if he deliberatily obstructed the player. In his defense he might say "Well...I was running towards the ball, saw that it would go in so I left it, then I felt a player bump into me from behind."
I think Dani even raises his leg, so he could always argue that he tried to play the ball.

Yeah that's what I mean, in most cases it's impossible for the referee to tell. Their job is hard enough already without having to look at these small "fouls". Imo he made the right call to allow it.
Best RB in the world, still.Home of Barca Fans
