The great final of the Club World Cup took place in Saudi Arabia, in a match that pitted the UEFA Champions League champions against the Copa Libertadores champions. Manchester City came in as overwhelming favorites against Fluminense and it didn't take them a minute to show why the oddsmakers had them as the favorites to lift the trophy, as Julian Alvarez scored the fastest goal in the history of the finals of this competition.

 

However, even before the match started, Fluminense defender Felipe Melo was already trending on social networks, as the phrase that the Brazilian had said to his teammates to try to motivate them was leaked, referring to the fact that the team coached by Pep Guardiola already felt like winners before the match had even started. This arrogant attitude was what annoyed Melo, who was later to unload all his fury against the Manchester City players.

"Did you see how they were when they arrived? Laughing and chewing gum, thinking they'd already won. Fuck!" the player reportedly told his teammates. That's why Felipe Melo already entered the field of play with the intention of proving that Manchester City's overconfidence was misplaced. However, to their disgrace, the English club ran all over them and put a beating on them with a final score of 4-0. With this result, the UEFA Champions League winning team took home the Club World Cup trophy, although the final whistle did not end the match.

Felipe Melo, true to his habit, could not bear the defeat and the superiority of the Europeans and went to confront Kyle Walker, one of the most temperamental players of Manchester City, who of course was not intimidated by the physical presence of the 40-year-old Brazilian defender, so the two began to argue and shoved each other. In fact, their respective teammates had to intervene to prevent the conflict from escalating.

 

Felipe Melo has a history of brawls

Defender Felipe Melo is one of the most temperamental and explosive players modern soccer has ever seen, as this is not the first time he has had a similar incident. Earlier this year he got into a fight with Luis Suarez in Brazilian soccer in a Fluminense match against Gremio. A year ago, he provoked a brawl that ended with five players being sent off, including himself, against Flamengo.
