Atletico Madrid have invited 1974 shame game bruiser Ruben Ayala as a guest of honour at next week's Champions League rematch with Celtic.Celtic and Atletico produced a pulsating 2-2 draw in Glasgow last month and Brendan Rodgers' side realistically need a win in Spain on Tuesday at a stadium where the hosts have now won 14 La Liga games in a row.
Atletico were accused of bad taste by wearing the exact same replica strip in Glasgow as they wore in the infamous European Cup semi-final at Parkhead 49 years ago, although manager Diego Simeone and president Enrique Cerezo defended it. Argentinian hard man Ayala was the first Atletico player sent off that night and two more followed - Ruben Diaz and Enrique Hernandez.And he will be the guest of honour for the Metropolitano Stadium showdown on Tuesday."I got booked twice - I think the first one was for stopping the keeper kicking it from his hands. We knew we had acted poorly.
"But we got three players sent off and still got a draw at a place like Celtic Park. We were a very good team."Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
