Atlético Madrid vs Real Madrid
Atlético fan group officially asks that Courtois' plaque be removed
The Real Madrid keeper was abused by the Atlético Madrid fans behind his goal during the derby in LaLiga at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Atlético Madrid's union of fan groups have officially asked that Thibaut Courtois' plaque be removed from outide the Wanda Metropolitano.
"We have come together to ask for the removal of Courtois' plaque for his lack of respect for Atlético fans. The plaques are for legend of that club that represent its values and the fans. Given his attitude, this player does not deserve it," they said in a proposal.
Thibaut Courtois was pelted with toy rats by angry Atlético fans at the start of the Madrid derby between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid too, with the goalkeeper then being whistled every time he touched the ball. The Atleti fans also held up a banner calling the Belgian keeper a rat.
Atlético Madrid fans angry with Courtois
