Mo Salah reveals who he’d prefer to play out of Real Madrid or Man City in the UCL final

Mo Salah admitted after Liverpool’s latest Champions League win that he’d prefer for his side to come up against Real Madrid in the final of the competition.

In comments relayed by BBC Sport’s Emma Sanders, the Egyptian expressed a preference that was likely based on his prior misfortune facing the Spanish champions in the final of the competition.

As the addition of Luis Diaz has proven, we’re certainly far better equipped to meet the challenge posed by Carlo Ancelotti’s outfit, should they surpass the Cityzens in the Spanish capital.

In a season where the stakes are so high, with a famous quadruple still on the line for us, it’s a game that promises a great deal to the neutral as well as the Liverpool fan come the end of May.
