Die Mannschaft's 7:1 win was the largest in FIFA World Cup semi-final history. To some, it became known as the Miracle of Belo Horizonte. To others it was called the Mineirazo or "Mineirazo", comparing it with the famous "Maracanazo", in which Brazil lost a decisive game against Uruguay in the 1950 World Cup. Dani Alves was not in the starting line-up for the fiasco against the Germans. He lost his position as a starter during the competition due to poor performances. Overall, Dani Alves earned 122 caps for his nation in the period 2006 - 2022, scoring 8 goals. Widely regarded as one of the best full-backs of all time, he is also one of the most decorated players with 43 trophies.
