Manchester City star Jack Grealish has been accused of disrespecting the Fluminense players after their FIFA Club World Cup final.
The Citizens claimed their first-ever Club World Cup title after thrashing the Brazilian club 4-0 in the final on Friday evening.
However, there was some drama after the game when Kyle Walker and Felipe Melo had to be separated after scuffle at the full-time whistle.

Melo has now claimed that Grealish was taunting the players during the second half by shouting 'Ole'.
"I've already seen on social media idiots saying that I started a mess,' Melo said after full time, as per the Daily Mail.
"Just as the idiots said that I started the mess with the goal that Gremio scored.
"In the game against Gremio, I calmly went to ask the athlete celebrating with their fans. And they ended up creating a mess. And I didn't want a mess. Today Grealish was disrespectful towards the Fluminense institution and I will never let that happen.
"He was shouting ole at the end of the game. This is for the fans, the fans can shout ole. The athlete on the field cannot be disrespectful towards the institution.
"So, for the idiots who call themselves journalists and have already said that I started trouble, I didn't start any confusion, on the contrary, I went to defend Martinelli, who was being cornered by this athlete. And I would do it again. I am a warrior."
