After the shock against Real Madrid, Diego Simeone, the coach of Atlético Madrid, denounced the incidents that occurred during the match. He also called for exemplary punishment for troublemakers and provocateurs.
Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid parted in a draw (1-1) this Sunday in La Liga. If neither team was able to take advantage of the misstep of FC Barcelona, beaten 4-2 by Osasuna the day before, this Madrid derby was marked by several regrettable incidents.
After Eder Militao opened the scoring in the 64th minute, the match had to be interrupted four minutes later because of projectiles aimed at Thibaut Courtois. The 22 players were then forced to wait around a quarter of an hour in the locker room before the match resumed.
Simeone gives a rant
In added time, Atlético managed to equalize thanks to a goal from Angel Correa. However, Diego Simeone, the coach of the Colchoneros, did not fail to criticize both the supporters responsible for the incidents and the Belgian goalkeeper, former resident of the Metropolitano, whom he accuses of having provoked the spectators after the first goal
“For the people who committed these incidents, the club will make a decision. We don’t need these people in the stands, but that doesn’t justify certain actions. The protagonists must act, but those who instigate must also be punished. I do not condone (the incidents, editor’s note), but we must be careful about what we generate and I include myself. For me, we must punish those who provoke. As you are not sanctioned, this allows you to do anything”El Cholo told reporters.
