Fresh from winning the UEFA Champions League, Vinicius Jr has to be separated from Everton's relegation fight hero, Richarlison, following a training ground burst up.

The pair, who had interesting fortunes with their clubs in Europe, reunited in Brazil's training camp in Japan for a series of international friendlies.

Despite warmly welcoming Vinicius in camp few days earlier, Richarlison was seen in a fight with his teammate in photos posted on Twitter.

The cause of their altercation is yet to be known but the problem had to be ironed out between the two by their teammates.

PSG star Neymar Jr took a leading role by running towards the pair to separate them before other teammates got involved.

In an interesting post on Twitter by a Footie handle, the duo had a conversation which ended with one labelling the other as the Brazilian Lukaku.

Richarlison on why he and Vinicius got in a fight in training:

"He said I can't win the Champions League, I kept quiet. He said I'm overrated, I kept quiet. He said Everton will get relegated next season, I kept quiet. But then he said Lukaku is better than me, that's when I lost it."

Brazil will face Japan in their second friendly of the international break on Monday, having already thumped South Korea last week.
