A week has passed since the Barcelona Court ruled on the case of Dani Alves. The player has been sentenced to four and a half years in prison for the rape of a young woman in a well-known nightclub in Barcelona. A decision that has generated a lot of controversy as it is a lesser sentence than that demanded by the prosecution (9 years) and accusation (12 years).
Throughout this process, the player has had the support of his family and, specifically, Joana Sanz, who has not hesitated to speak out on the case on several occasions. And there was no desire to maintain margin on the F.C.’s decision either. Barcelona to retire Alves and add him back to the list of club legends.
A few days ago, many people realized that the player’s image had been removed from their list of fame on Barça’s official website. Something that occurred without any communication from the club and that everything indicates that it was a decision due to the sentence that falls on his shoulders.
After this, and a few hours later, the football team placed Alves back in that section. A decision that has made Joana Sanz very happy, who has not hesitated to celebrate it on her social networks with a “To César what belongs to César.”
It seems that the model is clear that, despite having been convicted of raping a young woman, his career must be respected and his image should not be removed from the website of the club to which he has brought many joys. Something that many on social networks disagree with, who affirm that professionalism should not be separated from their actions.
And in this list only the players who have contributed the most to the F.C. Barcelona. Alves was placed because of his record. During the years in which he was in the Catalan team, he played 431 games and managed to win 26 titles, as it appears on the website. Among them, three club World Cups, three Champions Leagues, three European Super Cups and four Copas del Rey.
So much so that the club calls Dani Alves “the best right-back in Barça’s history.” After this controversy, it remains to be seen if the Blaugrana team will finally decide to leave the player’s record on the list or will definitively reiterate it for the acts he committed in that nightclub in Barcelona.
But if one thing is clear, it is that Joana Sanz will continue to defend him on her social networks. Something for which, according to what she has publicly denounced, she is suffering media pressure. “I went through Barcelona to kiss my furry friends, but the media greatly complicates my peace of mind,” she said a few days ago. Likewise, she stated that reporters “corner” her outside her home.
