UEFA set to make Liverpool red card decision that will anger Diego Simeone
Antoine Griezmann is set to have his one-match ban extended after he was sent off for a challenge on Liverpool's Roberto Firmino.
The incident occurred on October 19, when the Reds visited Atletico Madrid in the Champions League for a crucial encounter.
After a rapid start for Liverpool thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita, Griezmann got Atletico on level terms thanks to a 14-minute brace.
However, the match swung in the 52nd minute, when a high challenge from Griezmann caught Firmino in the head and neck, leaving the referee with no choice but to issue him with a red card.
Liverpool were able to take control of the game and seized a 3-2 win thanks to Salah's penalty. Atletico then saw a late goal contentiously ruled out after a VAR review, much to the dismay of Atletico manager Diego Simeone.
