Dani Alves has now become a pastor in Spain
Former Barcelona defender, Dani Alves appears to have completely turned his life around after spending several months in Brians 2 Prison over serious allegations of sexually assaulting a young woman at a Barcelona nightclub.
Following his acquittal, the 42-year-old former footballer seems to have embraced a new path through faith, dedicating his life to evangelical Christianity.
These days, Alves frequently uses his social media platforms to share Bible verses and religious imagery.
His Instagram bio now reads, “Disciple of Christ Jesus.” He has also become a familiar face at the Elim Church in Girona, led by Pastor Jimmy Martin, where services take place.

A viral video captured Alves preaching to a congregation, with the caption: “The faith that transforms. Dani Alves, from footballer to preacher of the word. Glory is only for God.”
In the video, Alves can be heard telling the crowd to believe in God just like he did.
“You have to have faith in God. I am proof of it. I made a pact with Dios.”
He went on to urge believers to take their faith seriously: “In the midst of turbulence, in the midst of the storm, there is always a messenger of God. And that messenger, at the worst moment of my life, picked me up and took me to the Church, to the road. And today I am on the road thanks to them.”
