Liverpool's star forward, Mohamed Salah, has spoken about his desire for revenge against Real Madrid in the Champions League final, four years after a painful loss against the Spanish giants in the 2018 final. Salah dislocated his left shoulder in a tackle by Sergio Ramos, which he believes was a deliberate maneuver. Despite Ramos' departure from Real Madrid, Salah is determined to settle the score, posting "we have a score to settle" on Twitter after Madrid's comeback against Manchester City in the semifinals. As he approaches the final, Salah's future with Liverpool remains uncertain, with his contract set to expire next year and negotiations seemingly at a deadlock.
