What Luka Modric said to Mohamed Salah at Champions League final whistle

Luka Modric was on the winning side against Mohamed Salah once again after Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 in the Champions League final at the Stade de France at the end of May.

And now Madrid youngster Rodrygo has revealed what the Croatian said to the Egyptian after the final whistle.

After going off injured in the 3-1 loss to Madrid back in the 2018 final in Kyiv, Liverpool star Salah made it public knowledge he was out for revenge in this year's showpiece.

Sadly for the Reds it didn't work out that way thanks to a masterclass from Thibaut Courtois is the Spanish champions' goal.

Salah performed well on the night in Paris but couldn't find a breakthrough for Liverpool after they fell behind to a Vinicius Junior goal in the second half, which proved to be the winner, mainly due to the heroics of Courtois.

And when talking to Podpah on Youtube, Rodrygo said: "When the Champions League final was over, Modric passed in front of Salah and said, 'next time you try again'."

It is unknown as to whether the five-time Champions League winner was having a dig at the Anfield hero or whether he was giving him encouragement.

But Salah will be trying as hard as ever to bring back European Cup number seven to Liverpool next season.
