Sections of the Atlético Madrid fanbase on Sunday evening made use of the opportunity to make clear their disgust with former Rojiblancos star Thibaut Courtois.

Goalkeeper Courtois for his part grabbed the headlines in Spain’s capital once more during the week.

This came after the Belgian issued a brutal response to the complaints of Atlético regarding Julián Alvarez’s disallowed Madrid Derby penalty:

“I’m fed up with always playing the victim, always crying about things like this. Referees don’t want to benefit a team, neither in Spain nor in Europe; they saw it clearly and they whistled it like that. They’re human, and with technology, they saw it clearly. If you’re winning 1-0 in the first minute and you don’t go for the second, that’s the fault of their game.”

Drawn on these comments during an exchange with the media earlier today, Atlético president Enrique Cerezo did not hold back, in responding:

“What he (Courtois) needs to do is shut up. He should be grateful for having been at Atlético de Madrid. He needs to do what he did with us: be a gentleman.”

And as alluded to above, late on Sunday evening, the Atléti faithful have followed suit…

Ahead of their side’s crunch La Liga showdown with Barcelona, droves of fans gathered around Courtois’ plaque outside the Metropolitano, to spit on, vandalise and throw rubbish around the tribute:
