Fans will have to download the app where they will be able to opt-in for live auctions during select matches throughout the season. The auctions will run from the start of the game until the final whistle.

The new initiative will also limit fan interaction with players, something Atletico will be looking to do after Mario Hermoso’s recent fight with fans.

After the side’s recent defeat to Villareal, Fans were angry and took out that frustration by verbally abusing Hermoso. Fans called him a Madridista, referencing his time spent at Real Madrid and the insults did not sit well with the player.

He attempted to enter the stands to fight with the fans who insulted him and had to be restrained by security, GiveMeSport reported.
