Corinthians Fans Spotted Felipe Melo in the Stands at Mané Garrincha

The Supercopa Rei between Flamengo and Corinthians had several highlights. Before the match even started, for example, Corinthians fans assaulted former player Felipe Melo, a Palmeiras idol, in the stands at Mané Garrincha. As a result, the commentator condemned the action.

— I had to pass by the fans. At first, it was fine, some were shouting insults and others asking for photos. This guy wanted to act tough because he was with a bunch of people — Felipe Melo pointed out in a post on Instagram, adding:

— It happened that we were passing by and one guy wanted to show off. He picked the wrong guy. But that's it. In the end, it's all peace — said the current analyst for Grupo Globo, who was trying to access the press area through the opposing fans.

How Did the Fan Assault Felipe Melo?

In addition to the insults, the video shows that the Corinthians fan slapped the commentator's arm, and he considered retaliating. However, security staff and former player Denilson prevented the conflict. In the end, you can see the aggressor boasting about it.

What May Have Motivated the Assault?
