Manchester City player arrested in Madrid over stolen phone
Manchester City midfielder Matheus Nunes has found himself in hot water following an incident in Madrid that led to his arrest last month. While his teammates were away on international duty, the 26-year-old was making headlines off the pitch.
Reports reveal that Nunes was involved in a heated altercation at the La Riviera nightclub after allegedly snatching a phone from a fan who had taken an unauthorized photo of him in the bathroom.
The drama unfolded in the early hours, with the Brazilian-born Portuguese star reportedly “very angry” and refusing to return the phone despite the fan’s pleas. Local police swiftly intervened, arresting Nunes and taking him to the Arganzuela police station for questioning.

Although he spent a few hours behind bars, Nunes was released later that day without appearing in court, pending further legal proceedings.
While Nunes was dealing with this off-field turmoil, his performances on the pitch have remained solid, including a recent start in Manchester City’s 4-0 Champions League victory over Slovan Bratislava. His arrest came as a surprise to many, adding an unexpected twist to an otherwise quiet international break for the player.
As the trial looms, fans and pundits alike are left wondering: what impact will this nightclub scandal have on Nunes’ future with the reigning European champions?
