Mohamed Salah has a clear personal preference over who Liverpool face in this season’s Champions League final.
The Reds booked their place in this season’s showpiece after their semi-final comeback victory against Villarreal on Tuesday. Salah had provided the assist for Sadio Mane’s second goal in last week’s two-goal victory over the Spanish side at Anfield but the Reds were left sweating over their place in the final after a rally from Unai Emery’s side in the second leg.
Goals from Boulaye Dia and Francis Coquelin gave Villarreal a seemingly commanding two-goal lead on the night to level the tie on aggregate to leave Jurgen Klopp’s side rocking, but they responded in style after the break. Fabinho, Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane were all on target for the visitors after the break as Liverpool won on the night and secured a 5-2 victory on aggregate.
