Manchester City and Pep Guardiola are reportedly furious at being snubbed by Dani Alves, who claimed he chose Paris Saint-Germain to win.
Dani Alves is presented as a PSG player
Dani Alves has apologised to Pep Guardiola and Manchester City for sensationally snubbing the Premier League club, but claims he has joined Paris Saint-Germain "to be a champion".
Alves had been expected to link up with his former Barcelona coach Guardiola at the Eithad Stadium after securing an early release from his Juventus contract.
Instead, the 34-year-old was presented in the French capital on Wednesday, having opted to join PSG, who finished second behind Monaco in Ligue 1 last season and lost 6-5 to Barca in a thrilling Champions League round-of-16 tie.
"If Pep Guardiola and Manchester City feel hurt, I am sorry... I have come here to be a champion," Alves told a news conference.
"I've had the pleasure of winning the Champions League three times and I want to bring my experience here."
