Mo Salah posts bullish tweet ahead of Liverpool vs Real Madrid final

Mohamed Salah has stated his desire for retribution as this year's Champions League final was confirmed as a repeat of the 2018 showpiece between Liverpool and Real Madrid. 

The Egyptian star helped the Reds progress past Villarreal in the first semi-final on Tuesday, before the Spanish giants mounted a stunning comeback to beat Manchester City in the second semi on Wednesday night.

And after Liverpool's opponents were confirmed, Salah posted bullishly across his social media ahead of the titanic clash on May 28. 

He posted, on both his official Twitter and Instagram account, with the caption: 'We have a score to settle.'

His Instagram post, to his nearly 50million followers, had received more than 700,000 likes after 45 minutes, while his tweet to around 16m followers had more than 125,000 likes and more than 40,000 retweets.

Salah was carried off injured in the 2018 final after a cynical tackle from then-Real defender Sergio Ramos, who locked Salah's arm as they fell, which saw him land awkwardly and eventually be substituted off with a dislocated shoulder.
