A 24-year-old Argentina fan died after falling through a roof in Buenos Aires.

Fans jumped from bridges onto the ceremonial bus, evacuating Lionel Messi and the squad in helicopters.

A 5-year-old youngster is in a coma after a piece of marble fell from Plaza San Martin.

Four million people marched in the capital city, prompting riot police to intervene.

A 22-year-old man in Bahia Blanca, 400 miles south of Buenos Aires, choked to death minutes after the last whistle on Sunday.

La Nacon reported that a young fan died yesterday when the roof he was leaping on collapsed.

Fans tried to join the players on the open-top parade bus, causing safety concerns.

One fan jumps from a bridge and lands among the players, but another hits the bus and falls to the road.

As they were transported back to the national team’s training facility outside Buenos Aires, some players took selfies from their helicopters.

The eight-hour march was set to take the squad 18 miles across the huge metropolis, ending at the landmark Obelisk.

Alberto Crescenti, head of Buenos Aires emergency services, verified eight injuries.

‘We have eight injured, some with arm and leg fractures, from mounting traffic signals and other places,’ he said.

The same security agencies that escorted us don’t let us move further, AFA president Claudio Tapia stated.

‘Sorry on behalf of all the champions. Sad.
