Kyle Walker had to be pulled away from Felipe Melo at full time after Manchester City won the Club World Cup.

The full-back clashed with the Brazilian after the game, which saw the new world champions dominate form start to finish in a 4-0 victory.

Felipe Melo has revealed what Jack Grealish said to spark the full time melee at the Cub World Cup final.

Melo and Walker were involved in a heated altercation after City won the game 4-0 against Fluminense, with Grealish dragging his captain away.

'I've already seen on social media idiots saying that I started a mess,' Melo said after full time. 'Just as the idiots said that I started the mess with the goal that Gremio scored.

'In the game against Grmio, 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.'
