Liverpool will play Atletico Madrid in Madrid next week, it has been revealed.

The Sun says UEFA chiefs will bow to pressure from Liverpool and give the go-ahead to next week's Euro trip to Madrid after all.

Kop fans were fuming when European football's chiefs banned Atletico from staging their next two Champions League games within 200 miles of the Spanish capital, after a racism storm.

It left them staring at travel chaos and a huge blow to the pocket as they hurriedly tried to make new arrangements and brought a wave of protest from the club.

But in a dramatic about-turn UEFA bosses have decided to defer Atletico's punishment and allow the game to be held in Madrid.

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez said: "To change the venue of the game at such a late stage would have caused massive problems to our fans."
