Mohammed Salah wants to meet Real Madrid in the Champions League final as he feels they have some unfinished business.
Liverpool made it to the finals on Tuesday night at the expense of Villarreal and will be waiting for the winner between Manchester City and Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
The Egyptian forward targets revenge for his team’s 2018 defeat by the Spanish side after leaving the field in tears due to a heavy fall under a challenge by Sergio Ramos in Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat four years ago.
“I want to play Madrid. City is a really tough team, we’ve played against them a few times this season. If you ask me personally, I’d prefer Madrid,”Salah told BT Sport.
“It’s great to be in the final for the third time in five years.”
“I want to play Real Madrid, I have to be honest.”
“Hopefully we’ll win it from them as well.”

Pressed to reveal if he wanted revenge against the Spanish side, Salah said: “We lost in the final against them, so I want to play against them and hopefully win it from them as well.”
The Reds are still in contention for all the trophies they have participated in this season with the Champions League being a key competition they would want to win again under Jurgen Klopp
