What happened at the disco?
The former defender of Barcelona, PSG and Juventus has confessed that he had sexual relations, after initially denying such a thing. A lie told to hide the betrayal from his wife and save the marriage (Joana Sanz has filed for divorce).

"El Periodico" has recently published some details of the rape: "Dani Alves would have spent 16 minutes in the bathroom with the girl, after which he would have been filmed by a security camera ignoring the victim, who was crying and comforted by friends and disco staff, and wouldn't leave before he had one last drink ."
