Liverpool fans are fuming after their travel arrangements were disrupted by Atletico Madrid being forced to player their Champions League clash at a neutral venue next Wednesday.

This comes after UEFA imposed a two-match home ban on Atletico after trouble at their last Champions League game against Marseille.

Chairman of the Liverpool Supporters' Club Richie Pedder told BBC Sport: "It is an utterly ridiculous decision so late in the day.

"We probably have three to four thousand fans going out to Madrid for the match. The flights will have been booked, the hotels will have been arranged, and now it's in tatters. What are they supposed to do now?

"I guess we're left with two options - change the destination of where the fans are flying in to, or to arrange coaches or some other form of transport from Madrid to wherever the new venue will be.

"But who does that? Uefa? The club? The fans themselves through the travel agents? It's a mess."
