Dani Alves has testified during his trial as he awaits the judge verdict on his alleged rape case.
Here is his version of truth, as per Mundo Deportivo.
"On the 30th [of December 2022] I met my friends for lunch at the Taberna del Clinic. We arrived around 14:30 in the afternoon. It had been a long time since we had seen each other and the meal went on for a long time. We drank five bottles of wine and a bottle of whisky. These are the ones that appear on the restaurant's ticket. More or less, I drank one and a half bottles of wine and several glasses of whisky.
"When we left the restaurant, we went to Nuba [restaurant] and had a round of gin and tonic. To get there, we went by car. Bruno [friend] was driving because I had drinked a lot and couldn't drive.
"After the Nuba, we went to the Sutton club with Bruno. We arrived at around 2:30 in the morning... I was escorted to table six. There is only one bathroom next to table six. I'm a frequent visitor of Sutton's and whenever that table is available I don't have to cross the club to go there... The door was open. We got to the booth and we started drinking and dancing with Bruno for a while.
"First, two girls came and danced there for a while. Then they invited three more girls, the complainant, and her friends. They were not uncomfortable at all. They arrived, they started to greet us. A conversation started, we were moving around, talking to each other. I am a very close person, but with respect. I think they knew who I was.
"We were dancing, interacting. We were already closer, she [the alleged victim] started dancing closer to me, rubbing her private parts against mine... It was a typical disco dance, a little bit of a 'perreo'. A dance a bit closer... She put her hand back and started touching my private parts.
"After dancing together, I didn't insist on her going to the bathroom. She said yes immediately. I told her that I was going to the bathroom first and I waited for a while, thinking that she wasn't going to come, that she didn't want to. And when I opened the door to leave the bathroom, I practically saw her at the door.
"She got down on her knees in front of me and started giving me a blowj*b. I pulled down my trousers and sat on the toilet bowl. The blowj*b was practically the whole thing. Afterwards, she sat in front of my legs, and I ejaculated out of her body.
"I didn't slap her, I didn't throw her on the floor. I am not a violent man. She didn't tell me she didn't want to have sex. At no time did she tell me she didn't want to or anything.
"I never saw the complainant and her friends again after that night. When we left the club, I was too drunk. My wife was asleep in bed. It's the same as I stated in the second one [testimony]. In the first one, I didn't tell everything because I thought my wife could forgive me," the Brazilian said before starting to cry.
"Then I got the news that they were accusing me of rape, I found it out in the media. The world came crashing down on me. I was practically ruined because they had blocked my back account in Brazil and they had broken all my contracts," the 40-year-old added.
Here is how the prosecutor responded.
"The victim explained to us that she voluntarily entered that place, even though she did not know it was a bathroom. She felt guilty for having entered that place. It is a common feeling in victims, as the forensic experts have said, when they do not deserve any guilt."
"We had a lot of gaps and it's completely normal coming from a victim... Dani Alves grabbed her and brought her mouth close to his d*ck. She explains that he penetrated her from behind and ejaculated in and out her body. She was very brave, she has been throughout the proceedings.
"Dani Alves slapped her in the face when she was on the floor. Alves said 'Say you're my little b**ch'. She explains that he experienced a terrifying situation. Her story has been persistent, credible and harsh. It has been a complicated situation for the victim."
Dani Alves was placed in custody without bail until his trial is resolved. The Brazilian suspiciously changed testimony in court five times. Everything indicates that the Barca legend will spend from four to 12 years in prison.
