Barcelona players celebrate after their win over the Brazilian giants

Santos fans were locked inside their own stadium for 20 minutes following violence from supporters after their elimination from the Copa Libertadores.

Fans of the Brazilian club battled outside the Vila Belmiro ground after Ecuadorean side Barcelona's 1-0 win, forcing police to lock the gates.

TV station Globo said supporters inside the stadium tried to get into the Santos dressing room.

Barcelona won the two-legged tie 2-1 after a 1-1 draw last week.

The Ecuador outfit face another Brazilian side, Gremio, in the semi-finals next month.
