Barcelona hero Daniel Alves mobbed by fans in Mexico City ahead of Pumas signing

Barcelona hero Daniel Alves has been mobbed by fans in Mexico City ahead of signing for Pumas.

Marca reports Alves has been the most mediatic signing in recent years in LigaMX, probably since the arrival of Ronaldinho with Querétaro in 2015.

Therefore, upon his arrival he was greeted by a significant number of fans who generated chaos at the Mexico City International Airport, in order to give him the best possible reception.

However, the situation was not the best, due to the logistical problems and delays that the air terminal has been suffering for several months.

In addition, Alves left through an alternate door, in an attempt to avoid crowds in the air terminal, until he was discovered by a fan and this caused a mobilization of supporters and press, who stopped him to ask him for some pictures and some impressions of his arrival in Mexico.

"I've had a particular thing for Mexico for a long time," he said of his choice, after having much more lucrative offers. However, Dani Alves said he arrived with the intention of "having a good time, like everywhere else".
