He was the most decorated football defender ever, having pulled a record 42 club and national trophies in a heroic career that spanned 20 years.

Alves was edging close to the twilight of his career when he signed for Mexican outfit Puma after spells with some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

Sadly, his two-year contract with Puma was terminated in the wake of the rape and sexual assault scandal.

It all started in December 2022 when the Barcelona legend went on a regular luxury bender in a nightclub in Barcelona.

During the event, Dani Alves and his friends are said to have been drunk but it later turns out Alves was setting himself on a cliff that will roll back his career gains drastically and plunge him into a catastrophe of a lifetime.

After the event, reports emerged he had allegedly assaulted and raped a woman in the bathroom during the event.

According to ESPN, Dani Alves has changed the ‘rape narrative’ five times before his conviction.

After forensic evidence emerged, Dani Alves changed the narrative for the third time saying he actually had sex with the woman but it was consensual. Fourthly, he admitted he lied about not having sex with the woman to cover his infidelity to his wife.

Shortly before the trial, which took three days to be concluded, ESPN also added Alves lied for the fifth time before the judgment.
