Roberto Claudio Milar Decuadra (6 April 1974 – 16 January 2009), or simply Claudio Milar, was an Uruguayan football striker, who played last for Brasil de Pelotas.

Career

He started in the youth categories of Nacional Montevideo.Other professional clubs: Juventude (Brazil), Portuguesa (Brazil), Santa Cruz (Brazil), Matonense (Brazil), Brasil de Pelotas (Brasil) ŁKS Łódź (Poland), Club Africain (Tunisia), Botafogo (Brazil), Hapoel Kfar Saba (Israel), and MKS Pogoń Szczecin.

He came back to Brasil de Pelotas in 2009. Claudio had first played for the third division club in 2002, and scored over 100 goals in just over 200 games in his career there.[1]

Death

On January 16, 2009, Claudio, one of his teammates, Régis, and the goalkeeper coach Giovani Guimarães were killed in a bus accident in Canguçu, Brazil. The bus tumbled into a 130-foot ravine while returning with the rest of the team after an exhibition victory over Santa Cruz, another third division club.[2]

Reactions

On 19 February 2009, in a match between Brasil Pelotas and Ulbra Canoas, striker Rogério Pereira celebrated the final goal in Ulbra’s 5-2 away win by heading over to the home supporters and making a gesture said to be imitating Claudio Milar's goal celebrations. This infuriated the home fans and many of the late Milar's teammates who instantly set upon Pereira. The Ulbra striker received many kicks and punches, before the scene was calmed down by the referee and his assistants, albeit not before 3 Ulbra players and 4 Brasil players were sent off.[3] His last club Brasil de Pelotas retired his number 7 shirt.[4]
