Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will face Real Madrid in Paris’ Stade de France on Saturday evening in their third appearance in Champions League final.
Egyptian football magician Mohamed Salah is determined to help Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool overcome Real Madrid on this occasion, having been injured in the first half during defeat in Kyiv four years ago.
Mohamed Salah on Champions League final match against Real Madrid at Paris’ Stade de France on Saturday evening ,he said ,“I’m very motivated, motivated through the roof. I think after what happened with Madrid last time, and also what happened on Sunday [in the Premier League], everybody is motivated to win the Champions League, because this is, like, [an] unbelievable trophy for us. I think every season we fight for it since I came here, I think everybody is excited for it.”
Salah nostalgic on the last final against Real Madrid ,he said ,”I remember when I went out after 30 minutes or something. That was the worst moment in my career. I was really, really down in that time, because playing the Champions League… I had a good season that time and just playing the Champions League [final], coming off after 30 minutes, it’s the worst thing that could happen to any football player. After the game I knew the result, because I was in the hospital, I knew the result from Hendo.
I was like: ‘We cannot lose this way.’ I never felt that feeling before in football, especially the first Champions League [final] for all of us – well, most of us. So, we lost it, we were very, very disappointed, but I think after that summer we came back, we talked to each other. [I] think Hendo and Millie talked in the dressing room, if I remember right, and they say we go again for everything and we managed to win it the year after, so that was also kind of revenge, in a way, but I think we managed in the best way possible.”
