Salah has previous with Real Madrid

Some observations from that clip -

Salah wasn't as good a finisher then
He's ****ing rapid
He has the skills to take the piss out of their team
Bale is also ****ing rapid
Marcelo is a **** defender
Ramos is like Lovren
Real Madrid don't like it up 'em
We'll have plenty of chances

Prezzer live...


One problem that Dejan Lovren will face this Saturday is just how to stop Real Madrid's number seven, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese forward has already scored 50 goals in 48 outings for club and country this season and has won the Champions League on four occasions. Not that he's that important or anything

"Ronaldo, Mohamed Salah and Lionel Messi, you need to respect these players a lot," Lovren says.

"Every year he scores more than 30 goals. Even if he has a bad season he scores 30 goals. We know how to defend like a team. When you want to stop Ronaldo we will stop him together.

"In some parts of the game it will be one against one. It will be tough - it’s a challenge I will be ready for. I've been working hard and I’m ready for everything."


'We have players and staff to beat any team'

Now Sadio Mane is up. The Senegalese forward has scored 19 league goals for Liverpool this season and is aiming to add to his tally at the weekend.

"As a striker you love to score every game and help your team," he says.

"I will try and do my best to help the team and score. It's one of the most important games in our career. It will not be easy, because they have experience and quality. We expect a lot, but we also have players and staff to beat any team in the world."



'The biggest chance in our lives'

Now Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren turns his attention to Real Madrid and the Champions League final.

"I would say this is a dream come true for every one of our players," he said.

"I always dreamed to be in the Champions League and one day to lift the trophy. Now we have the biggest chance in our lives, for some of us maybe the only one, for some many more hopefully."



'Brilliant lad and an even better player'

We may be here to talk about the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Kiev on Saturday but the opening question continues the World Cup theme, as Dejan Lovren gives his thoughts on Trent Alexander-Arnold's inclusion in the England squad.

Lovren says: "I want to congratulate him. He's a brilliant lad and an even better player. He deserves this - he's had a brilliant season.

"He is really mature for his age, he looks like a 14-15 year-old not like a 19-year-old. Hopefully he will stay here for a long time."

The Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is in the room....

The Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp sounds in a very confident mood.

"It's a very good moment for us. Having the time we have now to prepare for the game now is really good. We have done a lot of things in training and not had to cram it in to two or three sessions.

"We feel really good and we deserve to be where we are. Now we want to bring it to the best possible end."

'They are very strong'

Real Madrid are going for their third consecutive Champions League trophy and a fourth in five years so Jurgen Klopp quickly ponders a response to a question asking if his team are underdogs against that experience.

"I'm thinking about the answer," he jokes

"I don't want to play that game. Real Madrid are more experienced. Experience is very important in life but not the only thing, especially in football. It's an advantage to be experienced but you can level it with desire, attitude and work-rate.

"I've not had as long with this group as Real Madrid who've played the last two or three finals with the same team. They are very strong that's a fact but we have a chance and let's give it a try."

A very good moment
