I would have gone for Alves over Lahm in the starting XI, Alves played his best football under Pep, won everything and was an iconic part of that Barca team. Lahm obviously played his best football before Pep arrived and was only really a regular at right back in Pep's last season, before that he was struggling with injuries or playing in midfield. If I'm asked which RB I would immediately associate with Pep, that would 100% be Alves.
Lahm was still better at this point then Alves ever was. And what's most important for me: Pep has praised Lahm more than once for beeing the most intelligent player that he ever had, so his place in best XI is not debatable for me.
