Atletico Madrid have received the full backing of the Spanish government in their appeal against their stadium ban.
The Uefa ban, which affects Atletico's Champions League game with Liverpool on 22 October, follows crowd trouble in their game with Marseille on 1 October.
Spain's Minister of Interior Affairs, Alfedo Perez Rubalcaba, said: "I will defend the actions of the police.
"We will hand all the material that we have available to Atletico so they can appeal against this unusual decision."
Earlier this week, Atletico were told they must play their next two home matches away from the Vicente Calderon Stadium as a result of the treatment of Marseille fans during and after Atletico's 2-1 win.
Monkey chants were aimed at the French club's players, while the Marseille team bus was attacked after the match.
There were also outbreaks of violence between Marseille fans and Spanish police, as well as accusations from Marseille officials and players that they had been racially abused by Atletico fans.
"It's a huge blow for us, the Spanish players at Liverpool"
Atletico must also play PSV Eindhoven away from their home ground on 26 November, although they plan to appeal against the punishment.
They have until 1100 BST on Friday, 17 October, to do so, after a ruling the club described in a statement as "completely unfair and disproportionate".
They have denied all claims of racism, insisting that Uefa officials confused chants of "Kun, Kun, Kun" - in support of the club's striker Sergio Aguero - with monkey cries.
And the head of Madrid's Olympic bid has expressed his concern that another racist incident in Spanish sports could affect the city's chances of hosting the 2016 Games.
Liverpool have already written to Uefa to express their concerns over the switch and chief executive Rick Parry told the club website: "To say the decision is a bit late in the day, is to put it mildly.
"We are extremely concerned for our supporters, the vast majority of whom have already made travel arrangements. If the match is played at least 300 kilometres from Madrid, it will cause major disruption, inconvenience and large additional expense for our fans.
"Uefa have to take their needs into account when making a final decision on the game."
"The club feels that the sanctions imposed are completely unfair and disproportionate"
"I urge the fans to be calm because the game will be played at the Vicente Calderon," Cerezo said.
"Any other decision would create a social, logistic and security problem.
"There is no other stadium available and we are convinced that this game will be played here because Atletico has done nothing wrong."
If the decision to move the game from Madrid is upheld, it will deny former Atletico striker Fernando Torres the chance to return to his former home ground when the Reds look to maintain their 100% start to their European campaign.
And the Spaniard has been left devastated by the news, saying: "After so much time waiting, it is the worst and most unexpected news that I could have heard this morning."
Keeper Jose Reina, whose father Miguel Reina Santso played for Atletico in the 1970s, added: "It's a huge blow for us, the Spanish players at Liverpool. As well as that, we all had commitments, tickets agreed, and this changes all the plans."
Atletico have also been fined a record 150,000 euros by European governing body Uefa, while the punishment could be extended to a third home match should there be further trouble at the club within five years.
The Spanish club's coach Javier Aguirre has been punished for abusing a Marseille player.
He has been banned from the sidelines, the tunnel, and the dressing room, and is forbidden from communicating with his team, during the matches against Liverpool on 22 October and at Anfield on 4 November.
Atletico feel the punishment is unfair and, in a statement, said: "Concerning the accusation of racist insults, the club would like to state that at no time were insults of racist or xenophobic character directed at any Marseille player, as supported by the video of the match and in the record given by the Uefa delegate himself.
"It must be recorded that Atletico Madrid has no prior record with Uefa for equal or similar acts to those set out in the ban.
"In reference to the action attributed to our head coach, Javier Aguirre, for which he has been suspended for hurling insults at the players of the opposing team, the circumstance did not take place at any time, as is made quite clear in the report of the delegates designated to the match and from the fourth referee, who, at no time, mentioned such circumstances in his report."
A Uefa spokesman said the ruling was evidence of the organisation "acting with renewed strength" against racism.
And the move has been welcomed by anti-racism campaigners, with former Chelsea defender Paul Elliott, ambassador for European campaigners Fare, saying: "This is a momentous decision.
"The leadership that Uefa has demonstrated through these sanctions sends out a message that is loud and clear - racism will not be tolerated"
Lord Ouseley, chairman of Kick It Out, added: "The leadership that Uefa has demonstrated through these sanctions sends out a message that is loud and clear - racism will not be tolerated."
News of the suspension comes a day after the Football Association refused to sanction a plan to stage an England friendly against Spain in Madrid because of the racist abuse suffered by the likes of Ashley Cole and Shaun Wright-Phillips the last time they played there.
The punishment appears to be a lot harsher than that imposed upon Croatia a month ago.
Their FA was fined just £15,000 by world governing body Fifa after their supporters aimed monkey chants at Emile Heskey during England's World Cup qualifying 4-1 victory.
However, Gaillard denied "double standards", saying: "That was a Fifa fine, not a Uefa fine.
"We have no direct influence on Fifa decisions at all. But if we had been in charge, the punishment would have been a lot heavier."
