Mohamed Salah got his wish.
In an interview with BT Sport after Liverpool beat Villarreal in the semi-final of the Champions League, the Egyptian forward named Real Madrid as his preferred opponents for the final.
Manchester City seemed destined to prevent that from happening up until the 90th minute of their second leg clash at the Bernabeu. The Spanish giants somehow scored two goals in two minutes to force the match into extra-time.
It didn’t take long for Karim Benzema to consequently decide the tie by scoring a penalty in the 95th minute, eliminating Man City from the one competition they can't seem to conquer. Liverpool will now face Madrid in Paris this evening, with Salah and Benzema set to face off.
