Salah after defeating Villarreal about his desire to play against Real Madrid in the final.
After the match, Salah said in an interview with the British “BTSport” channel, when asked by former United player Rio Ferdinand, about the identity of the team he wants to face in the final: “Well, I want to play against Madrid, but I will be honest. Manchester City is a strong team and we played against it several times.” This season, but if you ask me on a personal level, I prefer Madrid.”
One of the journalists, Salah, replied, “Do you want a replay?”, and the Egyptian player replied: “Because we lost against them in the final… So I want to play against them again.”
Liverpool had lost to Real Madrid by three goals to one in the 2018 Champions League final, in the match in which Salah suffered a serious shoulder injury caused by Real defender and captain Sergio Ramos at the time, which prevented him from participating in the opening match of his country in the World Cup in Russia against Uruguay.
The English club is seeking to achieve a historic quartet, after winning the League Cup and competing for the Cup and League titles.
