Dani Alves, arrested; Dani Alves, to prison; Dani Alves, crestfallen; Dani Alves does not eat, does not sleep... Three million searches on Google in three days. If you're looking for “rape”, the numbers drop. Alves' victim: "Several times I asked him to stop"; Dani Alves' ex-wife and his brothers: "I would never do that"... The numbers are going up again...
Generous with the headlines – the Sports teammates know this – Alves explained in La Vanguardia Magazine in 2010 that “friendship between men and women, when we talk about a footballer, is difficult.

He knows Alves, but neither the presumption of innocence nor the necessary anonymity of the victim should make her fall into oblivion.
Day 3: digital censorship, his wife or his conscience force Xavi to correct. “I have not had a pleasant day. I know that my voice is very important because I am part of the best team in history”. Day 4: media counterattack from the environment of Alves. And what does Messi think? "Alves is my best friend in the dressing room", he aired during his years at Barça. Silence. Day 5...
