Regrettable image seen at the Metropolitano. The one that happened during the derby. The one that occurred during the match between Atlético and Real Madrid. With the score 0-1 in favor of Ancelotti’s team, thanks to a goal from Militao, the home crowd began to insistently throw objects towards the place where Thibaut Courtois was.
All this, after a header from Griezmann which ended in an offside from the Frenchman. At that moment, the Belgian warns the referee. He had something in his hand. A lighter. Then another. Then another.
In the meantime, another unidentified object in a plastic bag to find out what it contained. Braid, faced with more and more thrown objects, decided that it was time to do something.
He went to talk to Atlético field delegate. With the coaches. Who you need to talk to. Meanwhile, through the public address system, a clear message.
“He communicates suspension of the match for ten minutes following thrown objects. If they don’t stop, it will be permanent”, we heard in the green.
And that’s what happened. At the stand. Everyone inside. Everything for the locker rooms facts that shame and embarrass the world of football. Neither more nor less than in a derby. No more and no less than in a game that millions and millions of people watch.
