The trial of Dani Alves for rape ended this Wednesday, February 7 after a hearing during which the ex-star of the Barcelona football club denied the rape accusations outright. In his last statement from the dock, the footballer disputed every detail provided by the alleged victim during the first day of the trial.

“  I’m not that type of man,” he said. The Brazilian burst into tears twice when he remembered that he had learned of the accusations in the press and then when he spoke about his economic situation.
