Atletico forced to close stand after derby fracas
Briefly

Atlético Madrid faced a three-game stadium closure and a €45,000 fine after fans threw objects onto the pitch during the Madrid Derby, highlighting issues of fan conduct.
"We all have to help," Simeone said. "...we don’t help when we provoke the fans and the fans get angry. It’s wrong, it isn’t right, but we have to stay calm."
Atlético has acted swiftly, banning one fan identified in the incident and initiating collaboration with police to identify others, amidst efforts to change fan entry policies.
Ancelotti praised the referee for handling the situation, noting it was crucial to maintain control during such chaotic events to prevent escalation and protect player safety.
