Athletico with great anger: We're not gonna do the Real Honor Guard.

Los Blanco has already sealed the La Ligas title, and their next match is Sunday, May 8, to Atletico Madrid, writes Periscope.

It is customary for the opponent to create an honor guard and welcome champions in the field, but Atletico seems to be against the idea.

Some people want to return what was born as a gesture of respect for the champion and humiliation of the other team”, a statement by Atletico Madrid said.

Under no Atletico Madrid circumstance will co-operate in this mocking effort, in which the true values of sports are completely forgotten. It also encourages tension and confrontation among fans.

“We have been involved in several similar situations in recent years after we won different titles, including two league titles, and in some cases there has been a kind of honor from the rival team for our champions and in others there haven't been.

But there was never such exaggerated and artificial expectations or controversy as we have experienced in recent weeks”.

“In the first match of this season, Celta Vigo decided not to give an honour guard and it was a fair decision, because there are gestures to be made to applaud by the public”, the communiqué says.
