The Madrid derby was suspended midway through the second half of Sunday's 1-1 draw between Real and Atleti, after Atlético fans behind one of the goals at the Metropolitano repeatedly threw objects onto the pitch.

Éder Militão had put visitors Real Madrid 1-0 ahead in the 64th minute of the LaLiga match, when Atlético fans in the "Fondo Sur" at the other end of the stadium began to throw objects -- including plastic bottles -- onto the pitch, near to Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
