Earlier this week, it was alleged by a man named Miguel Collado that Montoya stole his wallet when he dropped off him and team-mates Cristian Tello and Gerard Deulofeu in the Spanish capital.

However, the 21-year-old moved to refute the claims on the social networking site.

"The accusations coming regarding the theft of a taxi driver's portfolio are totally false," Montoya said.

Mr Collado alleges the player challenged him to contact the police and said it was simply his word again Montoya's.

"In my wallet I had my documents, 230 euros and my daughter's medical card. She's interned in a hospital at the moment," Mr Collado told Terra.es.

"Montoya told me that I was only a taxi driver and that he was a footballer, that it was going to be his word against mine.

"I filed a complaint at first but I wasn't planning on following it through, but then a fake agent contacted me and threatened me. He also said I was a f****** racist. That's when I decided to be serious about it.

"It was my second ride of the day and it was only 8:15am, there is no chance that someone else was the thief other than this t**t."

Barcelona have yet to comment on the accusations.
