Atletico Madrid president Cerezo slams Barcelona fans as 'Konrad' invited to Mallorca clash

Atletico Madrid will have Polish fan 'Konrad' as guest of honour after he was ejected from the Nou Camp on Sunday.

Konrad was removed during Barcelona's defeat of Atletico for displaying a Spanish flag.

Atleti president Enrique Cerezo stated: "It's a real shame that there are Barcelona fans who have behaved like this with a boy who wears an Atlético de Madrid flag or a shirt. It seems unworthy to me."

Atlético called Konrad twice yesterday to invite him to Wednesday's game against Mallorca and also pay for hotel and travel expenses from Poland.

The fan has accepted and was pleasantly surprised that it was Koke himself who made the invitation to him through a video call.
