Salah made comments about his preferred opponents in the Champions League final after Liverpool’s victory over Villareal Tuesday night.
The Reds got confirmation of their opposition for the League final last night following Madrid’s 6-5 dramatic aggregate win over Man City last night at the popular Santiago Bernabeu.
After coming on as a half-time substitute, Diaz became Liverpool’s hero at the Estadio de la Ceramica. The forward’s team fell behind 2-0 on the night but eventually won the tie by 3-2.
The advent of the Colombian, on the other hand, spurred Liverpool’s revival. Before Diaz and Sadio Mane scored, Fabinho grabbed a goal back for his team.
The Egyptians has quite a horrific time playing against Real Madrid in the past as Liverpool lost to Zidane’s Champions League-winning side back in 2018.
Salah was forced to leave the game early after suffering a shoulder injury as a result of a challenge by Sergio Ramos in Kyiv when the Merseyside lost the final by 3-1.
However, speaking in his post-match interview with BT Sport, the Egypt international said Real Madrid will be his ideal choice to play at the Stade de France.
“I want to play Madrid, I have to be honest. City are a really tough team, we played against them a few times this season. I think personally, I would prefer Madrid. We lost in the final to them so I want to play against them and hopefully win it.”
The African also gave a blunt statement to his side after sending an important message on his social media feed that his side needs to find the back of the net in order to grab the European Cup.
 “We have a score to settle.”

A golden opportunity for the six-time European champions to finally exact vengeance for 2018 final has presented itself, probably at the right time.
The present Liverpool team is regarded as the best in the club’s history, and if Klopp is successful in lifting the prestigious silverware on May 28th, the 2021-22 team will be listed among the best.
