Koke Took A Selfie With Atletico Madrid Fan Before Whipping In Corner And Friendlies Have Peaked

Atletico Madrid captain Koke took a selfie with a fan in the middle of the club's game against Numancia on Wednesday night.

Atleti won 4-0 at the Estadio Municipal de El Burgo de Osma, with Thomas Lemar, Angel Correa, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Matheus Cunha all on the scoresheet.

But the very best moment of the game came in the second half when Koke, 30, was asked to take a photo with a supporter.

The midfielder was about to send in a corner from the right side when the fan came trotting over.

There were barely any stewards present and there were genuinely just fans stood and sat on the side of the pitch.

Koke had paced backwards and was preparing to whip in the cross but happily obliged to take the quick selfie, before continuing with the game.

For a friendly, this was an incredibly eventful affair. Atletico fans displayed a banner disapproving of a potential move for Cristiano Ronaldo, who they still have disdain for from his Real Madrid days.

"CR7 NOT WELCOME” the message on the banner read.

In addition, there was absolutely incredible scenes as Atletico had to play a keeper as an outfielder due to an injury suffered in the game.

19-year-old shotstopper Antonio Gomes, who plays for Atleti's B team, had to come on off the bench to replace Mario Hermoso in the 75th minute and wore the shirt of defender Felipe - who was sent off against Manchester City last season.

Gomes actually didn't look out of place and produced a lovely bit of skill to rinse an opponent just minutes after entering the fray.
