Anti-violence proposes the total closure of the Metropolitano for two weeks and a fine of 65,000 euros to Atlético

The State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance in Sports proposed this Tuesday the total closure for two weeks of the Riyadh Air Metropolitano and a fine of 65,000 euros to Atlético de Madrid, for the incidents that occurred in the Madrid derby between the rojiblancos and Real Madrid on September 29, as confirmed by sources from the Higher Sports Council (CSD) to Europa Press.

Anti-violence proposes these two sanctions after several members of the south end of the venue – four of them have already been expelled by the club – threw lighters at Thibaut Courtois when he celebrated the Madrid goal. This forced the game to be suspended for almost 20 minutes. In addition, one of the identified fans was carrying a knife.
