Fan shot dead in Brazil during horror riots after Chelsea beat Palmeiras to Club World Cup title, police confirm
A man was shot dead in Brazil after Chelsea's Club World Cup final victory over Palmeiras on Saturday.
The incident occurred outside the Brazilian club's Allianz Stadium.
Thousands went to the ground to watch the big game being played at the Mohammed Bin Zayed stadium in Abu Dhabi on big screens.
But Palmeiras' fans rioted after watching their side fall to a 2-1 defeat with Kai Havertz winning the match from the penalty spot.
According to The Athletic, police used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the rioters.
A military police statement read: “There were some outbreaks of fighting among fans, which unleashed a riot and a man was shot.”
One man has been arrested following the violence and police are working to identify others who may have been involved.
The Club World Cup is a big deal in South America, with only three Brazilian teams winning the competition since its creation in 2000.
