Mohamed Salah has revealed that he had a private meeting with Jurgen Klopp to motivate himself after Liverpool were beaten by Real Madrid in the 2018 Champions League final.
Liverpool will face Carlo Ancelotti’s side in the Champions League showpiece on May 28 at the Stade de France in Paris after beating Villarreal 5-2 in the semi-final. The game will be a repeat of the 2018 final in Kyiv, which saw Real win 3-1 thanks to a goal from Karim Benzema and two from Gareth Bale.
The game is remembered for Bale’s impact off the substitutes’ bench and Loris Karius’ disastrous performance in goal in what turned out to be his last ever game for the club. But it also harbours bad memories for Salah, who was forced off with a shoulder injury in the first half following a rough challenge from Sergio Ramos.
