Thieves broke into the rooms of several members of the team while they were playing a friendly match against Spain at the AFG Arena.

The players learned about the incident upon returning from the match, which the South Americans lost 3-2 after being up 2-0 at the interval.

Palmeiras star Jorge Valdivia, who was shown a red card after he had already been substituted, was one of the players who was robbed, and he vented his displeasure on Twitter.

“The referee robbed us on the pitch and now we were robbed at the hotel. Several of us were robbed, Alexis [Sanchez], [Claudio] Bravo, me, [Fabian] Orellana and several others,” he said.

“What a shame... this is a shame... as if it was not enough with the referee on the pitch, the same thing happens at the hotel... what a bad day in Switzerland. My computer... I had pictures of my children... Sons of a b*tch.”
