Atletico – Real Madrid 1:1 Video goals and review of the La Liga match
In the 69th minute of the game, this fierce confrontation turned into something completely different due to the violation of the rules of behavior of the spectators in the stands on the side of the “mattressniki” fans, who began to throw various objects at the “Blancos” goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
We will remind you that the Belgian played earlier in his career, in particular, as part of Diego Simeone’s team.
Referee Mateo Busquets Ferrer was forced to take the teams off the pitch for around quarter of an hour due to the incident, but we still got the final whistle on the night.
After the game, Atlético published the following statement on their official resources.
“Atletico Madrid would like to express its disapproval of the throwing of objects that took place from the south stand of our stadium in the 68th minute of the match against Real Madrid.
The club’s security service is working with the police to find the people involved, one of whom has already been identified.
Individuals involved in this incident will be subject to internal restrictions for very serious cases.
This kind of behavior has no place in football and it tarnishes the image of our stadium, which created an impressive atmosphere this evening with more than 70,000 spectators, the vast majority of whom demonstrated exemplary behavior,” the Colchoneros camp said.
Atlético will play their next match in the UEFA Champions League at Benfica in Lisbon.
