Liverpool are happy UEFA have moved their Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid back to the Vicente Calderon.

Earlier this week, Atletico were ordered by UEFA to play their next two matches in the competition at a neutral venue at least 300 kilometres away from the Spanish capital after crowd trouble against Marseille on October 1. A further one-match ban was suspended.

The move was criticised by Liverpool as well as Atletico, with the Reds unhappy supporters' plans to travel to the match had been significantly disrupted by the switch of venue.

Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry told the club's website: "We're delighted at the decision because it means our fans can travel to the game as previously planned without additional expense or inconvenience.

"Liverpool are grateful for the help the FA have provided and pleased UEFA have listened to and acted on the arguments we put forward this week."
