Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke has warned fans not to let their emotions get the best of them and cause chaos in the stadium.
Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 at home in stoppage time in La Liga on Sunday, with the Rojibalangos now on 16 points from 8 games.
“You can see from today, in the second half, when the game was more open, at first we played with respect for each other, but both sides wanted to win and we tied in the end.
“We always come into the game to win. We want the three points, but I liked the second half, more risky and more of a team, even though we wanted the three points.
“It was a tense moment (ask about intervening to stop fans from the riot in the 69th minute). This cannot happen on a football pitch. We are footballers, we are professionals, we have to work with awareness.
“There was nothing stressful (while waiting to get back on the pitch), we just waited to see if we would get to play. The captain had to speak to the ยูฟ่าเบท referee and was told the game would be called off if there was another disturbance. It was a very tense game but we went into it at 200 per cent.”
