The next three weeks will be packed with an incredible build-up to the game between Liverpool and Real Madrid for the UEFA Champions League final, but it seems that neither Toni Kroos nor Mohamed Salah wanted to wait to get things started.
After Real Madrid's win against Manchester City was confirmed, Liverpool's Egyptian ace took it to Twitter to voice his thoughts on the game. Judging by his words, Salah has not forgotten about the Reds' 3-1 loss to Los Merengues in the 2017-18 UCL final, and he is ready to set the record straight against the Spanish titans.
For those who are unaware, Mohamed Salah had already "asked" to face Real Madrid in yesterday's post-match interview with BT Sport. While his words went viral, this fact will be one to take under consideration for the next few weeks.
But just when we thought that would be all in terms of social media exploits, along came Toni Kroos to get the fire burning again. The German footballer, who once again proved his worth for Los Merengues this evening, took it to Twitter to share his emotions. While he did not reply directly to Salah's tweet, the fact that it was posted so close to the Egyptian's words made fans guess about his intentions.
Liverpool and Real Madrid will face each other for the ninth time in UEFA Champions League history and for the sixth time in the past ten years. Out of those most recent five matches, Los Blancos have walked away with four wins, including the 2018 UEFA CL final Mohamed Salah was referring to. The most recent match between these clubs ended in a goalless draw back in April 2021.
