Gil Marin: Atleti can’t dissolve Frente

Miguel Angel Gil Marin has insisted that Atletico Madrid can't disband their ultras group following the death of a fan outside Vicente Calderon.

The Frente Atletico reportedly brawled with Deportivo ultras near Los Colchoneros' stadium, which resulted in a visiting supporter dying from multiple injuries.

However, the Atleti CEO refused to pin the actions of one person onto the entire Frente Atletico and maintained that the club had no external dealings with the ultras group.

"I am repulsed and hurt by what happened because we had taken the steps to prevent this from happening, but I'm not one to dissolve the Frente Atletico," he told Cadena Cope.

"The club do not give any ultras money or match tickets, nor do we provide them with anything else, but there is always one idiot amongst those 4,000.

"I have friends whose children sit in the south stand, and they are good, well-mannered people.

"If someone is able to prove who [was responsible], we will denounce them as soon as possible."
