Atletico launch defence

Atletico Madrid are set to appeal against the stadium ban and £120,000 fine handed out to them by Uefa.

Uefa's sternest rap in the fight against racism was issued for incidents during Atletico's Champions League game with Marseille on October 1, forcing them to move next week's Liverpool tie.

A club statement read: "The club feels the sanctions imposed are completely unfair and disproportionate."

Rafa slams venue switch

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has blasted the late switch in venue for his side's Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.

The Spanish club have been ordered to play at least 300km away from Madrid as a result of crowd trouble during the match with Marseille on October 1.

Benitez told the club website: "To change the venue at such a late stage would cause problems for our fans."
