Football players’ lives are full of excitement – wonderful cities, the greatest stadiums, and people chanting their names. However, as if sometimes they forget about the heavy burden of popularity and responsibility they have to carry, some of them occasionally tend to give in to forbidden temptations and do things that usually echo much louder than when done by “normal” people.Matheus Nunes was arrested and then released in Madrid on 8th September.Nunes was accused of taking the phone from a 58 year-old man, who had tried to take a photo of him in a nightclub toilets. 🤦🏼♂️📸 [via El Mundo / Daily Star] pic.twitter.com/e22wQLfdUC— mcfc lads (@mcfc_lads) October 2, 2024 Something like that happened to Man City midfielder Matheus Nunes, who was allegedly arrested in Madrid about a month ago for snatching a cell phone from a man who was trying to take a photo of him and keeping it afterwards?! According to El Mundo, the situation happened during the international break, which Nunes spent in Madrid since he was not called up to represent Portugal.Pep is looking for Rodri‘s replacement in ItalyThe 58-year-old man, who reportedly tried to take a photo of Nunes without the player’s permission, eventually called the police after the incident with the Portuguese, which took place early in the morning in the toilet of a Madrid nightclub.As per El Mundo, given that the cell phone was still in Nunes’ possession, he was arrested and taken to the police station for questioning. Only after his lawyer intervened was he released. Yet, the 26-year-old won’t be able to avoid the trial. Still, the information of the arrest has not yet been officially confirmed as several other sources claim that police took no action regarding the incident. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8380105##For instance, according to Manchester Evening News Nunes took the phone out of the man’s hand after asking him to stop taking pictures. Police were called but did not arrest the Portuguese, nor will he face any further action in relation to the incident.Yet, regardless of the outcome, for him, much more fierce will be the trial and condemnation he’ll receive from Man City, Pep Guardiola, the Cityzens fans, and the public, not only in England but the entire world. Football players, as arguably the most popular athletes, should be role models for the youth, and Nunes’ act is nothing but a genuine disgrace.
