Reds Reunion Part 1

Update

It will not be at the Calderon. Tico been handed 2 match stadium ban for crowd trouble during OM match. Their coach too.

Vicente Calderon Oct 23, 2.45 a.m.(M'sia)

Torres will be back at his old stomping ground while Luis Garcia and Florent Sinama-Pongolle will be reunited with former teammates when Liverpool take on Atletico Madrid in Champions League fixture.

I think it will be weird. Torres was Atletico's youngest captain while King Luis will always be remembered for that 'ghost goal' against Chelsea. I'm sure, that goal will be debated until kingdom comes, similar to Geoff Hurst's goal-line bouncer. Pongolle had limited time at Anfield but nevertheless can count the experience as enriching as he is now flourishing in La Liga.

But they're professionals. Friendship counts for nothing in football.

They know what at stake. Top of the table clash to decide group champion. Massive.
Pretty sure that this 2 will proceed to the next round at the expense of OM and PSV.
Atletico have yet to visit Marseille, Liverpool won the clash 2-1 earlier and OM are pretty tough at their own den, Stade Velodrome.

Reunion aside, this encounter should make an interesting watch.
