Robinho, formerly of Real Madrid and Manchester City, who now plies his trade for Atletico Mineiro, caused controversy on the pitch when he decided to make fun of a Chapecoense player whilst playing against them in the Brazilian league.

Chapecoense had the bit between their teeth and managed to turn the game around to take three points from an Atletico Mineiro ground which is never easy to go to.

However, unfortunately it was not the result which grabbed everyone's attention. One of the home side's players, Robinho, created the most talked-about moment of the matchday in Brazil.

The Brazilian forward, on course for the victory with his team, made fun of his opponent by performing a step-over, before mocking the player's stance.

The Chapecoense players took issue with the player's behaviour and Robinho responded. The referee eventually had to intervene in order to avoid any further repercussions.
