Dani Alves's girlfriend named best model at L'Oreal Paris Awards

Barcelona right-back Dani Alves was celebrating a different sort of victory on Monday when his girlfriend Joana Sanz was named best model at the L'Oreal Paris Awards.

Sanz was handed a bouquet of flowers when she was announced as the winner on stage ahead of the 2016 spring/summer edition.

Alves, who has won 20 medals at Barcelona, was not in attendance himself as he prepares for this Wednesday's La Liga clash against Celta Vigo.

The Catalan giants have won every league game so far this season, which has pushed them to the top of the table.
