The Rojiblancos chief has no problem with going overseas to play

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo says he has 'no problem' with playing the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, and thinks it's a good moment to show Spanish football's ambition. 

"If the RFEF has decided the Super Cup will be played there, we'll play there," said Cerezo after the draw.

"For us it's no problem, beyond getting there and being comfortable, but I imagine that it will be a country that has all the comforts you need to be happy and comfortable there."

He admitted: "Undoubtedly, it's not easy to get there" for the team's fans, and "above all on the days that are the final days of Christmas.

"But like everyone we want Spanish football to have an international reach and I think this is a good moment to show that."
