Debate: What do you think about Uefa's decision to move Liverpool's Champions League tie with Atletico Madrid?

Liverpool will play their Champions League match against Atletico Madrid 300 miles from the Spanish capital after Atletico were found guilty of racism.

The Spanish side have been hit with a three-match stadium ban and fined 150,000 euros (£120,000) by UEFA after crowd trouble and racist abuse during their game against French side Marseille earlier this month.

This means that their Champions League tie with Liverpool on Oct 22 will now take place outside of Madrid, upsetting travel plans for thousands of Reds supporters.

"To say the decision is a bit late in the day, is to put it mildly," says Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry.

"We have 3,000 fans going to the game and we are extremely concerned for our supporters, the vast majority of whom have already made travel arrangements.

"If the match is played at least 300 kilometres from Madrid, it will cause major disruption, inconvenience and large additional expense for our fans."

What do you think? Should Liverpool's fans be forced to suffer because of racism among Atletico fans? Has Uefa got the punishment right? Or Should the fixture be played behind closed doors?
