Uefa lifts home ban on Atletico

Atletico have been handed a two-match stadium ban at their Vicente Calderon home from Uefa, due to crowd trouble during their match against Marseille.

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.”
