'Liverpool fans want revenge and Mohamed Salah will be super motivated for this'
Neil Briody is the chairman of the Dubai Reds, Liverpool’s official supporters club in the city.
He has opted out of travelling to Paris for Saturday’s Champions League final, partly because he thinks his presence at finals brings his team bad luck.
Sat behind the Liverpool dugout, he had a close up view of Sergio Ramos’ fateful foul on Mohamed Salah when they last met Real Madrid in a final, in Kyiv in 2018.
He is not alone in thinking a revenge mission on Saturday night will be the perfect way to cap a stunning season.
No matter what happens on Saturday I would have to rate this season 10/10 - it’s been an incredible ride.
We have won two trophies already, and have our third Champions League final in five years to look forward to.
We took Manchester City to the wire once again, and we seem to be the only team in the Premier League at the moment who are capable of doing that.
It was heartbreaking to lose out by one point. Getting to 92 points, that is a ridiculous number to still not end up with the trophy.
The team have the mentality where they know they cannot drop any points, which is why it is full throttle from Day 1.
Sunday (losing out to City on the final day of the Premier League season) was tough to take, but we did everything we could possibly do to be in contention until the final day.
It is testament to the depth of squad that we have now, and what Jurgen Klopp has built to allow us to fight on four fronts.
We might still end up with just two trophies, but it has been an incredible rise and incredible season from an incredible team.
