Plenty of torrential rainfall seemed to leave Celta de Vigo's visit of Atletico Madrid on Sunday shrouded in doubt, but it is now believed the match can be played as scheduled.
Spanish news source AS says the club is confident it will go ahead as the break in rain has allowed its ground staff to tackle the turf at Balaidos. While the car park has turned into a moat, the pitch has come through the weather unscathed in comparison.
