Real Madrid suspend fan who attacked players' cars, vow legal action
Real Madrid has identified three fans - one of them a club member - who attacked the cars of Gareth Bale and Jese Rodriguez, and allegedly hurled insults at the players, at the club's training facility following Sunday's loss to Barcelona.
Video footage acquired by TV station Cuatro shows fans waiting for the players at their Valdebebas training ground in the early hours of Monday morning, confronting them as they attempted to drive off the premises.

On Monday evening the club announced that the individuals responsible had been identified, and that one person in question, a Real Madrid member, is likely to face a stadium ban - along with potential legal sanctions.
"Details of this member's identity have been sent to the Club's Discipline Commission, requesting that it expel the individual from Real Madrid for what is considered a very serious offence," the statement read.
"This afternoon, the Discipline Commission held an emergency meeting and decided to open a disciplinary investigation and provisionally suspend the individual's rights as a member and access to the Santiago Bernabeu or any Real Madrid facilities....
"Furthermore, Real Madrid will take any applicable legal action against the individuals responsible for these incidents."
