Madrid confident of hosting Liverpool game

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo is confident the Champions League clash with Liverpool will go ahead at the Vicente Calderon next week. UEFA handed the Spanish outfit a three-match stadium ban along with a fine of around £120,000, for incidents during their Champions League home match with Marseille on October 1.

"The Atleti-Liverpool game will be played at the Vicente Calderon," Cerezo was quoted as saying in Marca.

"We will appeal. I have faith that UEFA will do the right thing. I hope they will listen to both sides evenly."
