Mohamed Salah Reveals team he wants Liverpool to face in this season’s Champions League final.
The Reds met Real Madrid in the 2018 final, with a second-half brace from Gareth Bale and
Loris Karius‘ gift for Karim Benzema ensuring that Zinedine Zidane’s men ran out 3-1 winners in Kyiv.
Salah, who went into the showpiece event off the back of a record-breaking debut season with Liverpool,
had to be substituted with a shoulder injury in the first half following a strong challenge from Sergio Ramos.
Speaking to BT Sport following Liverpool’s 3-2 semi-final second leg win at Villarreal,
Salah admitted that he would rather face Real Madrid in the final rather than Manchester City.

“I want to play Madrid, I have to be honest,” Salah said.
“Manchester City’s a real tough team, we’ve played against them a few times this season.
“If you ask me personally, I would prefer Madrid. We lost in the final before against them,
I want to play them and hopefully we’ll win.”
Real Madrid will have to overturn a 4-3 aggregate deficit against City if they are to advance to the final.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men were comfortably second-best at the Etihad Stadium but are still in the tie
thanks to more heroics from Benzema after he grabbed a brace, with Vinicius Jr grabbing Real’s other goal last week.
Real have won their last seven Champions League finals and have not lost one since it rebranded from the European Cup.
