Salah was criticized for disrespecting Real

“Everybody will react differently to such statements. I am Salah’s opponent, and those words are disrespectful to the logo and the Real players. The only thing we have to do is try our best. strength, showing why we are in the final. Hopefully Real can give the fans another title,” Valverde told the Spanish newspaper. Marca April 23rd.

After together Liverpool beat Villarreal in the semi-finals, Salah declared that he would rather meet Real than face Man City, in the Champions League final this season. When Real beat Man City in the semi-final later, the Egyptian star continued to send a message to challenge the royal team. “We have a debt to settle,” Salah wrote on Twitter.

Salah does not hide his ambition to pay off the debt Real in the 2018 Champions League final. At that time, Salah only played 32 minutes, before leaving the field due to an injury caused by a clever hand-pulling phase of Sergio Ramos. This match, Real won 3-1 thanks to a brace from Gareth Bale and the opportunity of Karim Benzema.

Before the Liverpool match, Real went upstream to defeat PSG, Chelsea and Man City, respectively. For Valverde, the reverse victory over Man City in the second leg semi-final is the most memorable. He said: “It was difficult to go on when losing in the 89th minute. But then you blink an eye, and we won. This doesn’t happen often in life.”

Valverde considers the ability to come back upstream as a special style of Real that no other team has. The Uruguayan midfielder emphasized: “I don’t know if the opponent feels fear, or the pressure at the Bernabeu that the fans create. They know they have to fight Real, and we have the ability to do anything. The whole team, The coaching staff, the fans all feel it. It’s like the Bermuda Triangle.”

Real and Liverpool are aiming for a third title this season. Real won the Spanish Super Cup and La Liga, while Liverpool won the FA Cup and the League Cup.

This year’s Champions League final will take place on May 28, at the Stade de France, Paris. The third time Liverpool met Real in a European Cup match. Before defeating Liverpool in 2018, Real lost 0-1 in the 1981 Champions League final also in Paris.
