Mohamed Salah has chosen a team between the two semifinalists who will face each other tonight to have a spot at the final and set a clash against Liverpool for the battle of title.
Liverpool beat Villarreal 3-2 (5-2 on aggregate) last night where Fabinho, Diaz and Mane powered their side to book a place at the Champions League final for the third time in their last five seasons.
Meanwhile, following their advancement to the final of the UCL, the Egyptian striker Salah wants to play 13 times European champions Real Madrid in the final and have his revenge. While Jurgen Klopp said in a post-match interview that it will be “massive” whoever wins it and he will watch the tie, Salah said to BT Sport, “I want to play Real Madrid, I have to be honest.” He further said that the reason for wanting RMA into the final is that Liverpool lost the final in Kyiv in 2018 against Real Madrid. Salah this time hopes for a win against the team they lost the title previously four years back.
Los Blancos will play against Premier League champions Manchester City for their return leg tonight at Santiago Bernabeu at 12:30 am IST where City is an advantage with a 3-2 lead over the Whites.
