Atletico fans threw objects on field to interrupt Madrid derby in La Liga

Atletico Madrid said on Monday they had permanently banned a fan for throwing objects onto the field during the weekend’s heated derby draw with Real Madrid.

Sunday’s match at Atletico’s Estadio Metropolitano was halted for 15 minutes after home fans threw objects including lighters at Madrid players.

Atletico claimed a late point thanks to Angel Correa’s 95th-minute equaliser.

“Our security department continues to work with the police to identify the rest of those involved, who will be permanently expelled as soon as they are located,” Atletico said.
