Mohamed Salah: I'm so happy to be back in the Champions League final

Liverpool's quick return to the Champions League final has Mohamed Salah hoping he can banish the painful memories of last season's showpiece.

The Egyptian's participation in the eventual 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid in Kiev 12 months ago was ended after 30 minutes of play due to a shoulder injury.

But with the Reds once again appearing in the biggest game European club football has to offer, Salah is hoping for a much better outcome against Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid this Saturday.

The No.11 told beIN Sports: “I am so happy that I have the chance to play another final. I hope I can play the full game this time.

“I am very excited for that. I hope we can right what happened last season, get a good result and win the competition.”

He added: "This is our second final in a row. We lost the first but everything feels better this time around and we have more experience than last time.

"We are all looking forward and we had a good preparation period in Spain. We are back in Liverpool and we are feeling very motivated as players and coaching staff. I hope we can win it this time.

“We had great preparations in Spain and it was a good time to prepare there. The team is now at the best level physically. So I hope this stop was an advantage for us in the final.”
