Man City star Ruben Dias brutally trolled by Atletico Madrid's Joao Felix on Instagram

Manchester City star Ruben Dias has been brutally trolled by Atletico Madrid ace Joao Felix on Instagram.

Dias took to the social media site to show his followers how he was stepping up his preparations ahead of the new season. In the post, City's centre-back can be seen channelling his inner Tyson Fury in a boxing drill on what looks to be a warm beach.

The 25-year-old is shown focusing hard in the exercise routine and he captioned the video with a strength, fully charged battery and sunshine emoji. Despite his hard work, Dias was not able to avoid the perhaps inevitable response from his Portuguese teammate Felix.

Entering the comments section, Felix simply replied with several laughing face emojis as the 22-year-old poked fun at his international teammate. The striker was not the only one to poke a bit of fun at Dias' expense though.

RB Leipzig forward Andre Silva responded: "This is way too much," along with a laughing face. While Dias' City teammate Joao Cancelo jokingly compared his defensive partner to boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.
