Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah admitted it would be "a dream" to cap a sensational debut season at Anfield by ending Real Madrid's European reign in tonight's Champions League final. However, Salah says he would be happy if Roberto Firmino or Sadio Mane grabs the goal that takes the Reds to a sixth European crown. Salah has won a series of individual prizes as he has contributed 44 of the 90 goals Liverpool's front three have scored this season.
"It would be a dream to win the Champions League. It doesn't matter who scores. Winning games and getting points is the most important thing for us because as you can see, I've scored 10 goals in the Champions League, Sadio nine, Firmino 10, so all of us are the same. None of us are selfish or only wants to score. We try to help each other to score goals," Salah told UEFA.com.
The Egyptian has been a revelation since his return to England last summer from Roma. His form has led to tonight's clash in Kiev being billed as a Ballon d'Or decider against five-time World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo. And he stressed the importance of maintaining that form for a number of years. "The important thing is to keep doing what I've done next season as well. I believed that I was capable of this form. I was at Roma for two years, had two great seasons there and everyone told me to stay, but it was in my mind to come and be successful in England," he said.
