WATCH: Atletico Madrid defender Hermoso held back by security after ugly clash with own fans

Atletico Madrid defender Mario Hermoso was held back by security after clashing with fans jeering teammate Antoine Griezmann on Saturday.

Hermoso reacted furiously to a comment apparently made by a supporter who'd stayed behind to berate the players after defeat to Villarreal.

Video footage showed Hermoso responding verbally to the fans and then climbing part way into the stands to continue the debate as bottles and other missiles rained down on him.

Hermoso had to be held back by security personnel to prevent the situation becoming even more hostile and he eventually returned to the pitch before coaching staff and team-mates led him away.
