Mohamed Salah: Liverpool star gives incredibly honest interview after Villarreal win

Mohamed Salah gave an incredibly honest interview after Liverpool reached their third Champions League final in five years.

Taking a 2-0 lead into the second leg, Jurgen Klopp’s side were strong favourites to see off the threat of Villarreal.

But by half time in the second leg at Estadio de la Cerámica, the tie was level.

A third-minute goal by Boulaye Dia set the tone before Francis Coquelin made it 2-0 before half time.

Liverpool were rocking.

But the introduction of Luis Diaz changed everything and they immediately looked better in the second half.

And in the space of 12 second-half minutes, Liverpool swung the tie back in their favour.

First, Fabinho made it 2-1 in the 62nd-minute. Five minutes later, Diaz headed in from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross. Sadio Mane made sure Liverpool would progress to Paris to give his side the lead on the night.

Job done.

They won’t care how they did it but everyone associated with Liverpool will be delighted to keep their quadruple dreams alive.

And, after the match, the players were asked to put into words quite how they were feeling.

Now, many of them gave media-trained answers and insisted they’re not thinking about the quadruple and now just concentrating on the Premier League game against Tottenham on Saturday.

But not Salah.

He gave an incredibly honest interview – perhaps too honest – with BT Sport after the match.

He spoke about his individual goals, who he wants in the Champions League final and his thoughts on completing the quadruple.
