# Liverpool: Fans fume about Atletico Madrid postponement

**A number of Liverpool supporters are frustrated that Atletico Madrid will have more time to prepare for their Champions League clash with the Reds.**

Jurgen Klopp’s side returned to Premier League action on Saturday lunchtime, making the trip to Watford in what was Claudio Ranieri’s first match in charge.

The Reds now don’t have much time to rest after the game, however, with a testing trip to Atletico looming on Tuesday night.

Diego Simeone’s side will have a nice rest before the match, with it being confirmed \[via [*Anfield Watch*](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1448927268173123588?s=20) on Twitter\] that their La Liga clash with Granada has been postponed, due to their players’ international commitments.

The reigning Spanish champions are in good form, winning [three of their last four](https://uk.soccerway.com/teams/spain/club-atletico-de-madrid/2020/) matches.
