Dani Alves was covered in eggs and flour at training as he celebrates 33rd birthday (photos)

Barcelona defender Dani Alves turned 33 today and his teammates gave him the most unexpected of celebrations as they bombarded his face and clothe with loads of eggs and flour on his birthday.

Alves was greeted by balloons and a cake from his model girlfriend Joana Sanz before training in the morning, but had to settle for pelts of eggs and flour from his teammates during training this morning. More photos after the cut.
