Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid's La Liga derby clash on Sunday was temporarily suspended after Rojiblancos fans threw objects, including lighters, at players, especially Los Blancos goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
The match had to be paused for a few minutes as the situation in the stadium went out of control. Even some of Atletico Madrid's players had to intervene and speak to fans, urging them to stop throwing objects so the match could resume.
The match, at Atletico's Metropolitano stadium, was disrupted by home supporters with Real Madrid leading 1-0, through Eder Militao's second-half goal.
