Daniel Alves lived his first night in the shade very badly.
The former PSG player joined Brians 1 prison in Saint Esteve Sesrovires on Friday evening.
The president of Barcelona's 15th Instruction Court demanded that he be placed in pre-trial detention without bail, while the 39-year-old footballer is accused of raping a 23-year-old woman in a Barcelona nightclub on the night of December 30.
The Brazilian was imprisoned at the request of the public prosecutor and the complainant.
A decision taken to remedy any attempt to escape and supported by the medical report of the young woman and the video surveillance images of the establishment.
His wife asks for his privacy
The former FC Barcelona right-back has denied the charges against him, but he could spend several months in detention pending trial.
Her current prison is only a temporary stage but according to a journalist from La Vanguardia, she has already left traces.
The sportsman was not very talkative and had difficulty eating, after terminating his contract with the Pumas and being arrested on Friday.

He would have been polite with the prison officers but would have contented himself with swallowing some fruit from the tray that they slipped to him.
For her part, Alves' wife has asked the media for some privacy, as she has lost her mother and cameras are scanning her home.
“I ask the media placed in front of my house to respect my privacy at this time, wrote Joana Sanz on Instagram.
My mother passed away a week ago.
I'm just beginning to get used to the idea that she's no longer there for them to torment me with my husband's situation.
I lost the only two pillars of my life.
Have a little empathy, instead of looking for so much news in the pain of others, thank you.
