Barcelona legend Dani Alves is currently locked up in a prison cell in Barcelona after being accused of raping a woman in a Barcelona nightclub.

Alves has been denied bail after a judge stated he could flee the country if released.

The 39-year-old defender has also been sacked by Pumas UNAM, following the scandal.

Alves who’s without a club, would now be without a wife as well, as Joana Sanz, has confirmed her divorce from the Brazilian and Barcelona icon.

Sanz wrote  an emotional handwritten letter, to confirm the divorce; as obtained by Marca:

“Since I was a child, I have been writing down my feelings to express myself, I suppose because I am an only child,” Sanz wrote on Instagram.

“Whatever the reason, it does me good. I would love for the lines written here to be ones of love and happiness, but that’s not the case.

“These have been horrible months, not the hardest of my life, because I have faced many storms, but very dark and painful ones. The feeling of abandonment and loneliness knocks on my door again.

“Thousands of unanswered ‘why’s’ I chose as my life partner a person who in my eyes was perfect.”

In another part of the letter, Sanz revealed how Alves broke her by getting involved with another woman.

She went on: “He was always there when I needed him most. He always supported me in everything, always pushed me to grow, always loving, and attentive.

“It’s so hard for me to accept that this person could break me into a thousand pieces.

“I think it’s going to take me years of life to get over the way he looked at me as if I was the most incredible thing in the world.

“I’m amazing because I’m hard-working, independent, intelligent, thoughtful, caring, fun, loyal. Human. So human that despite the damage he has caused me, I am still here by his side.

“I am still and will continue to be, but in a different way. I love him and I will always love him. Whoever says that love is forgotten is either self-deluding or did not really love.

“It is time to move on to the next stage.”
