I don't know, their defense has not been good lately and they tends to switch off after taking the lead then give their opponents chances to come back then they get nervous... With this being an away match, I would be quite happy to come away with a draw... Cos Celtic are quite crazy at home... -

Benitez keen to secure early Champions League qualification
Tuesday, 4 November 2008
Channel 23: "Live"Liverpool v Atletico Madrid - 3:45 am
Rafael Benitez wants Liverpool's progress into the Champions League knockout stages secured as quickly as possible so he can concentrate on the Barclays Premier League.
Benitez sees Tuesday's Group D match at home to Atletico Madrid as the opportunity to settle one issue and give himself the luxury of qualifying for the last 16 with two games to spare for the first time.
That would mean Liverpool can focus their energy on their attempt to win the league title for the first time in 18 years.
If Liverpool beat Atletico and PSV Eindhoven lose in Marseille, the five-times European champions will be guaranteed a place in the knockout phase in February.
Their final two group matches, against Marseille at Anfield on November 26 and away to Eindhoven on December 9, would allow Benitez to rest senior men and give squad players valuable European experience.
That is par for the course at Manchester United, but not something Benitez has managed at Anfield. Benitez, whose side were held to a 1-1 draw in Madrid last month, said: "Clearly we want to be qualified for the knockout stages as quickly as we can, and a win on Tuesday will almost certainly settle that.
"But Madrid are a fine side, and away from home they are very dangerous on the counter-attack with some outstanding players of pace and quality. "If we can win it will be a massive result for us. If we can get the points to qualify as soon as possible it will take a lot of pressure from us.
"It will mean that we can use other players in the final group matches and be able to concentrate our strengths and efforts in the Premier League to maintain our position in the title race.
"But I am sure that Atletico Madrid are thinking just the same thing, they will want to ensure their qualification as quickly as possible, too." Atletico would also ensure a place in the last 16 if they won at Anfield and PSV lost in the south of France.
"The incentive for both clubs is clear, the winners would have 10 points and that could well be enough," Benitez added.

Marseille v PSV clash in doubt
Marseille's Champions League tie at home to PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday could be called off, according to reports in France.
The city has been hit by torrential rain since Tuesday morning and the pitch is becoming more and more waterlogged.
French sports daily L'Equipe report on their website that the match is looking less and less likely to go ahead as the day goes on and that the Group D tie could be postponed by 24 hours.
Referee Nicola Rizzoli is set to make a decision in the next few hours.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE NEWS
Luis Garcia relishing ''special'' Anfield return
Former Liverpool forward Luis Garcia is looking forward to walking out at Anfield again - only this time in the colours of Atletico Madrid.
The Spanish club arrived on Merseyside on Monday ahead of their Champions League D clash with Rafael Benitez's side and Luis Garcia was immediately in familiar territory.
''This will be a special game for me personally, but it should be for anyone playing here at this stadium with such a fantastic atmosphere,'' he said. ''I spent several years here and enjoyed the time - it is a special occasion for me.
''I even had a big reception at the airport. I have had messages of goodwill from fans, letters and emails. It is great to come back and see these people again. A special part in my heart will always be with these people at this club and in this city. I still remember a lot of people from when I was here, fans and players.''
The match could also see another reunion with Liverpool's former Atletico hero Fernando Torres poised to make a return from a hamstring injury.
Benitez said he will leave it to the player to make the final decision after training later today but Madrid boss Javier Aguirre insists he wants to see the player on the pitch facing his side.
He said: ''We are aware that he has been injured, but I want him to be 100% fit and playing against us, I want us to be challenged by the very best.''
The Mexican coach, now three years into his spell in Madrid, is conscious there could be a backlash from the hosts after they lost their unbeaten record for the season at Tottenham on Saturday.
He said: ''They could well be angry. We will see, but they did not deserve to lose at Spurs. If you watched the game, you will understand. They should have won and had the best chances.''
Aguirre has 20-year-old Argentina star Sergio Aguero back in the squad, after the highly-rated striker was only a half-time substitute in the 1-1 draw between these sides in Madrid a fortnight ago.
Aguero scored twice at the weekend in the 2-0 win over Mallorca, and he has been linked with a £30million move to Manchester City in January.
But Aguirre said: ''He is very happy here, he is still a young lad and young player and because of that I know he will be with us for many years, despite the amounts of money I hear being mentioned for him.''

Rain puts Chelsea game in doubt
Reports in Italy claim Tuesday’s Champions League tie between Chelsea and Roma could be at risk due to inclement weather in the Italian capital.
Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side are due to take the field for the Group A clash at 7.45pm and a win in Italy could see them progress to the knockout stages of the continent’s premier competition.
But Italian agency ASCA is reporting that heavy rainfall in the Rome area has left the game in doubt and if the poor weather continues then referee Luis Medina Cantalejo will have to make a decision on whether the game will go ahead.
Last week, Roma were forced to postpone a Serie A fixture against Sampdoria after 20 minutes due to heavy rainfall at the Stadio Olimpico which rendered the turf unplayable.

Liverpool ref: I was wrong
REF Martin Hansson has admitted he cocked up by saving Liverpool’s Champions League hopes with a last-minute penalty.
The Swede — now being dubbed the new Anders Frisk — gifted Steven Gerrard an injury-time leveller against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, despite a soft challenge from Mariano Pernia.
And he allegedly told Swedish TV station SVT after the game: “From my angle, I am not convinced that it is a penalty but according to UEFA rules I’m not allowed to make any comment on specific match incidents.”
The decision rescued Liverpool from a home defeat and prevented the Spaniards from automatically qualifying for the last 16. Hansson seemed to make his decision after the linesman flagged. But defender Pernia blasted: “When we were complaining the linesman apologised to me for giving it. "That was when there was still time to take a step back from giving a wrong decision but he wouldn’t do that.
“He actually said to me ‘sorry, sorry’. This makes you feel like there is a campaign against us because UEFA have closed our ground for one game, banned our coach from the touchline and now they’ve given a non-existent penalty to Liverpool.”
“I call it non-existent because Gerrard threw himself on top of me. It should have been our foul.”
Hansson is now being compared to Swedish official Frisk, who famously quit in 2005 after receiving death threats from Chelsea fans for sending off Didier Drogba in a clash with Barcelona.
