Barcelona revokes Dani Alves’ status as club legend

Barcelona has officially revoked Dani Alves’ status as a club legend following the recent finalization of his sentence for sexual assault.

The decision was made by the La Liga giants in light of the court’s verdict.

Last week, a Spanish court sentenced former Brazil international footballer Dani Alves to four and a half years in prison after finding him guilty of raping a young woman at a Barcelona nightclub in December 2022.

It also ordered the three-time Champions League winner to five years’ probation after he served his jail term, and demanded he pay 150,000 euros ($162,000) in compensation to the victim.
