UEFA accused the police of causing the incidents of Atletico-Olympique

* The Atletico Madrid will be five years after the two test matches Closing

* Liverpool believe that the sanction "late" and their fans, which is "ridiculous"

The Director of Communication of UEFA, William Gaillard, directly blamed the Spanish police to "provoke incidents" which occurred last October 1 at the Vicente Calderon to take action against supporters of Olympique de Marseille in the game they faced Athletico Madrid.

"The disciplinary committee has ruled that the incidents were provoked by the Spanish police for no reason," said Gaillard, told Onda Cero.

Just remember that UEFA had already had "a problem with the Spanish Police." "For two seasons at Sevilla, the fans of Tottenham were beaten violently, including disabled people," he warned.

"We have spoken to the Spanish authorities, also have written," he added, referring to the police charging that occurred against the French fans, which was protagonizando altercations in the stands and throwing chairs at the 'stewards', employees of UEFA responsible for security.

He also explained that Atletico will test five years after these incidents rojiblancos and that the club must choose where to compete in the two matches behind closed doors, but the UEFA "would have to approve it, since it must have the best facilities for a party the Champions League. "

Liverpool wants to play in Madrid

Liverpool wants to play at Atletico Madrid. So what has made public the English club said in a statement issued on its website. "If the game is played more than 300 kilometers from Madrid, will cause inconvenience, in addition to assume a spending extra for the fans of Liverpool," says the British entity.

Liverpool valued adversely the closure of two parties to the Vicente Calderon with that UEFA has punished Athletico Madrid after the incidents between police and French fans prior to the meeting of the dispute between the team rojiblancos and the Olympique de Marseille.

The penalty, which the Athletic will lodge an appeal before Friday at 12.00, implies that the Madrid team must play against Liverpool (October 22) and PSV (Nov. 26) in a state that gave more than 300 kilometers from the capital of Spain.

But Liverpool, taxable on the subject, has called on UEFA to reconsider its position. These are his arguments: "To put it mildly, the decision comes a little late," says the executive director of the 'Reds', Rick Parry. "It is anticipated that 3,000 of our fans traveling to see the game and we are extremely worried about them. Most had already closed their journey," says the communique. "UEFA should take this into account before making a decision on it," says the Liverpool.

"It's a totally ridiculous," said the chairman of the Liverpool supporters club, Richie Pedder, the British channel BBC. "We have probably three or four thousand fans that will go to Madrid to see that game. The flights have already been reserved, like hotels and now everything is destroyed. What are we supposed to do now," he said.

Pedder added that the fans of the "reds" were now two options: "to change the destination to which they fly followers, or to rent buses or other transportation from Madrid to wherever it is the other stadium." "But who does it all, UEFA, the club, the same fans through travel agents? It is a disaster," lamented the spokesman.
