And in Sunday’s Fla-Flu, as the match is called, Luiz found himself in an altercation with Fluminense bad-boy Melo.
With Flamengo trailing 2-1 late on, tempers flared and the referee showed a grand total of FIVE red cards in the whole match.
Flamengo’s Marinho was given his marching orders for a tasty challenge and a brawl ensued.
Luiz, who initially tried to play peacemaker, was dragged into a war of words with ex-Juventus star Melo.
