Mohamed Salah is adamant that Liverpool’s Champions League final against Real Madrid is the perfect chance to exact revenge for their 2018 defeat in Kyiv.
The Reds booked their place in this month’s Paris showpiece after overcoming Villarreal 5-2 on aggregate. Jurgen Klopp’s side went into the second leg in complete control, two goals to the good, but were given a fright after that advantage was wiped away during a chastening opening 45 minutes.
But the 2019 European champions regained their foothold in proceedings and ultimately ran out 3-2 winners over this season’s surprise package. They were then able to sit back and watch the second semi-final as Real Madrid and Manchester City went toe-to-toe in an instant classic.
