Atletico Madrid banned the radical far-right group Atletico Front from the stadium yesterday for their involvement in the brutal fight on Sunday which left one man dead.

Jimmy Romero, a member of Deportivo La Coruna’s left-wing ultra group Riazor Blues, died when Atletico Front and Riazor Blues attacked each other before Sunday’s clash beween Atletico and Deportivo.

Atletico said in a statement: “Among those identified are 15 people who say they are Atletico Madrid supporters, of which seven were club members. Those members have been expelled immediately.”

Atletico president Enrique Cerezo said: “This has nothing to do with football. Neither Atletico nor Deportivo have anything to do with these incidents, they are organised by radical groups who have their histories and accounts to settle.”
