“We Have A Score To Settle” – Salah Says As He Reveals Everybody Wanted A Liverpool vs Real Madrid Final
Liverpool star attacker, Mohamed Salah is relishing a Liverpool vs Real Madrid in the Champions League final as he revealed that everyone at Liverpool wanted Madrid.
After Liverpool’s dramatic second-leg win over Villarreal carried the Reds through to the May 28 trophy match in Paris, Madrid’s taste for the epic was exhibited on Wednesday, scoring two goals in injury time and a third in extra time to eliminate Manchester City.
