Liverpool FC star Mohamed Salah reacts as Man City lose to Real Madrid in Champions League

Liverpool sensation Mohamed Salah is relishing facing Real Madrid in the final of the Champions League after the Spanish giants produced a stunning comeback against Manchester City on Wednesday night.

Trailing 1-0 on the night and 5-3 on aggregate as the semi-final at the Bernabeu reached its dying stages, Madrid, from nowhere, forced the game to extra-time, thanks to quick-fire goals from substitute Rodrygo. For his first goal, he cleverly flicked Karim Benzema's cutback past Ederson before, just a minute later, heading home Dani Carvajal's cross from the right.

That forced the contest to extra-time with the scores level at 5-5 on aggregate, meaning a pulsating 30 minutes lie in waiting. However, Madrid completed one of the most famous semi-final comebacks of all time when Benzema netted his 43rd goal of the season from the penalty spot, sealing a 6-5 aggregate triumph for Carlo Ancelotti's side.
