Irate Atletico Madrid fans REMOVE Thibaut Courtois plaque from the Wanda Metropolitano following his Champions League heroics with rivals Real... after club president Enrique Cerezo told supporters 'go with a pick and a shovel'

Atletico Madrid fans have reacted with fury at Thibaut Courtois' Champions League success with Real Madrid, removing a special plaque commemorating his time at the club.

Courtois was named man of the match on Saturday night for Atletico's city rivals after putting in a series of stunning saves to deny Liverpool's Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah in helping Real win the Champions League final 1-0 at the Stade de France, Paris.

The Belgian stopper enjoyed a three-year loan spell at Atletico while on the books of Chelsea, with his time at the Spanish side seeing him reach the 2014 Champions League final, where they were defeated by Real 4-1 following extra time after Sergio Ramos had scored a heartbreaking equaliser in stoppage time.
