A large number of Atlético de Madrid fans were outraged after Theo Hernández , who had a past at the mattress club, had a gesture where stepped on the club’s crest which is located on the ground, at the exit to the dressing rooms.
In the preview of the match between Atlético de Madrid and Milan , the side committed an accident that was highly questioned by the fans, since he was distracted and talking with his teammate Brahim Díaz , while he stepped on the shield and did not bother to look where
The side who was trained in the Atleti youth teams and who later went to his great rival, Real Madrid, does not have the affection of the rojiblanca fans, and after the last gesture, it will surely be received in a hostile way at the Wanda Metropolitano.
The tradition of respect of not stepping on the shield located at the entrance of the tunnel is long-standing, in fact there are antecedents where footballers prevented rivals from stepping on, as was the case of Renan Lodi who contained an opponent or Vitolo with Luis Suárez in one of his first matches.
Despite everything, Theo was not the only one who stepped on the shield, since Paolo Maldini , sports director did the own. Probably due to carelessness or ignorance of the value they give it, but the fact is that it has not sat at all well in the fanatical mattress that will seek to impose itself at home against the 7-time Champions Champions to get even closer to the round of 16.
