Sociedad fans attack Atletico Madrid team bus carrying players to Real Sociedad’s home ground for the Copa del Rey match. The windows of the team bus were smashed by the mob. Home team fans gathered outside the stadium and surrounded the bus before police might intervene.
Fans threw rubbish at the bus. This upset many, including Atletico coach Diego Simeone. From inside the team bus, Simeone might be seen repeatedly asking the opposing team fans to calm down.
‘We were just starting to enter the stadium. Sociedad fans are always organized outside the stadium. But the police did not provide protection for us, “said Simeone.
Last week, an object thrown by a fan from the gallery during the match was found on the body of a Sevilla player during the Real Betis-Sevilla match. Later, the authorities decided to hold the next two matches of Real Betis in a closed stadium.
