Dani Alves has swapped prison for the pulpit … by becoming a PREACHER
The Barcelona legend spent 14 months on remand after being accused of raping a woman in a nightclub toilet.
Brazil right-back Alves received a four and a half year jail term in February 2024.
But Catalonia’s high court overturned the sentence in March.
The 42-year-old and wife Joana Sanz welcomed their first child into the world earlier this month.
And Alves has now sparked astonishment in Spain by delivering a sermon at a church in Girona.
Film appeared online of the bearded ex-player picking up a microphone and receiving applause from the Elim church’s congregation.
Alves declared: “You must take God seriously and have faith. I am the living proof.
“What God promises, He delivers. I have agreed a pact with God.
“In the midst of turbulence and storms, there is always a messenger from God.
“This messenger gathered me up and brought me to the church.
“And now I am on the right path, thanks to him.”
Alves won 23 trophies with Barcelona, including three Champions League crowns and six LaLiga titles.
