       Barcelona's Arthur Melo has been charged with drink driving
       after crashing his Ferrari in Palafrugell, a coastal town in
       Catalonia, sources have confirmed to ESPN.
       Arthur was spotted by police at 4 a.m. on Monday morning after
       steering his car onto the pavement on one of the main roads into
       Palafrugell, which is about 130km north of the city of
       Barcelona.
       Tests revealed that Arthur had 0.55 milligrams of alcohol per
       millilitre of blood. The legal limit in Spain is 0.5.
       No other cars were involved in the accident and no-one suffered
       any injuries, although there was some minor damage done to
       Arthur's Ferrari.
       The Brazil international was charged on the spot but was then
       allowed to leave, with one of the passengers in the car given
       permission to drive.
       Police sources told ESPN that Arthur could be summoned to appear
       in court at a later date, with the risk of a large fine and the
       possibility of having his driving license revoked.
       Arthur, 24, is also facing disciplinary action from Barca after
       travelling to Brazil and failing to report back for training
       last month.
       The midfielder is due to join Juventus next season after the two
       clubs agreed on a deal worth up to €82 million but he remains a
       Barca player for now.
       However, he told the club in July that he felt he had been
       mistreated since the transfer was announced and that he would
       play no part in the club's Champions League campaign.
       Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu subsequently announced the
       club would take disciplinary action against him for showing a
       "lack of respect" towards the club.
       Arthur eventually returned to Barcelona earlier in August but
       was not part of the squad which travelled to Lisbon for the
       final eight of the Champions League.
