12 Real Madrid fans killed In Iraq during Champions League final

At least 12 Real Madrid fans were brutally murdered in Iraq last Saturday during Real Madrid's champions leagues victory over local rivals Atletico Madrid in Milan.
According to reports, the attack on the fans’ club in Baakouba reportedly took place as Real and Atletico were about to start the penalty shootout after normal regulation time that fails to determine the winner.
Four gunmen stormed the supporters’ venue, firing indiscriminately before fleeing the scene.

“It was a similar type of attack to the one that took place earlier in the month. Twelve people have been killed and at least eight wounded, who have been taken to hospital,” Ziad Albidani, the president of the Real fanclub in Baakouba told the publication.

“The army are restricting the information that is coming out of the scene. This is a terrible situation. They are destroying the happiness of all Madrid fans on such a special night,” the president of an associated Real Madrid supporters club in Iraq, told AS.

Baakouba, is a town located about 60 kilometers north of Baghdad and also lies less than 90 km away from Balad, a city that saw the first attack on Real fans by the Islamic State (IS) terrorists on May 13 where 16 people were killed and more than 20 injured.
Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez during a speech after the match in Milan, said that he would like to “dedicate this cup to our fans in Iraq.”
