The Reds and Real Madrid will meet in this season’s Champions League final in Paris on May 28 following our win against Spanish side Villareal, and Real Madrid’s defeat of Manchester City on Wednesday.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is readying himself for a “revenge” mission against Real Madrid in this month’s Champions League final.
Sergio Ramos forcing Salah off the pitch with that heavy challenge injuring his shoulder in the Kyiv 2018 final. Add to that the whole debacle surrounding Loris Karius, you can certainly understand why he feels as though there’s some unfinished business.
Salah, who received the Football Writers’ Association’s Footballer of the Year award in London on Thursday, was forced off injured early on after a Sergio Ramos challenge as Liverpool were beaten by Real in the 2018 final in Kyiv.
Now the two sides, who between them have been crowned champions of Europe on 19 occasions, will meet in this season’s final in Paris on May 28 following Real’s extraordinary comeback win over Manchester City on Wednesday and Liverpool’s defeat of Villarreal the day before.
Egypt international Salah, 29, when asked if he saw the final as a chance for Liverpool to gain revenge for their defeat four years ago by 13-times European kings Real, replied: “Yes, we lost in the final, it was a sad day for all of us and I think it is revenge time”.
“I’m so excited, I said before the game that I wanted to play Madrid in the final”.
“I’m sure it is going to be a tough game, they beat a lot of good teams so we just need to focus on the game”.
Liverpool are bidding for an unprecedented quadruple of all four English major trophies in one season.
Come on you Red men. YNWA
