Atletico Madrid faces a partial stadium ban after incidents against Real Madrid in the derby

Atletico Madrid could well face a partial closure of its stadium following the incidents in the Madrid derby on Sunday evening, after the game was suspended for 15 minutes. After initially being warned by a loudspeaker, fans at Fondo Sur continued to throw objects, mainly lighters, at Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

The Colchoneros could face punishment for the actions of the Fondo Sur, one of whom has already been identified by the club and the police. According to Marca, while Atletico were able to avoid a partial closure of the stadium after Nico Williams was racially abused in April by proving it was an isolated incident and security forces had taken preventative measures, this will not be the case this time .

They claim that Atlético should face a fine and a partial closure of the stadium for two to three Fondo Sur matches because several objects were thrown and they did not stop at first. Meanwhile, Relevo says the fact that Courtois was not hit by an object may lead to more lenient measures being taken.

They believe that according to the protocol, Atletico will face a fine of 6,000 euros and a ban on fans playing at Fondo Sur. However, they note that the appeals system tends to result in a reduction in penalties, as Real Betis reduced the partial closure of three games to just a fine after Joan Jordan was hit with a plastic stick. Valencia’s five-match partial ban was reduced to three and a fine was imposed after Vinicius Junior was racially abused.

Atletico face Leganes at home on October 20 before facing Las Palmas and Alaves at home. Los Rojiblancos condemned the actions of fans throwing objects, while Diego Simeone also urged them not to come back.
