Liverpool FC have expressed their concerns about this decision, saying it has been made too close to the match with no regards to the Reds' supporters who have already booked flights and accomodation in Madrid.
"To say the decision is a bit late in the day, is to put it mildly," said 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.
"UEFA have to take their needs into account when making a final decision on the game."
