Egyptian star Mohamed Salah refused to talk about an opportunity to retaliate against Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos when Liverpool faces the "Royal Club" in the Champions League quarter-finals next Tuesday.

Salah participated with Liverpool against Real in the 2018 UEFA Champions League final, and suffered a serious shoulder injury after friction with Ramos, and the Egyptian star left the stadium after that injury and Liverpool lost the match 1-3.

Regarding the existence of motives for revenge against Ramos, Salah indicated in an interview with the Spanish newspaper "Marca" that this match has become a thing of the past, and said, "Now I think about the team" and all the players are in focus "and they only want to win, what will happen in the next match. It will not change what happened in 2018. "

The Egyptian star confirmed that Liverpool has changed a lot since the 2018 final in Kiev, and said, "We won the Champions League, we won the English Premier League, and this is a big change."

He pointed out that Real had lost a number of players since 2018, including Cristiano Ronaldo, who described him as the best in the history of Real, but confirmed that the "royal" also has big stars now, and said, "I am sure that they are ready for the match, and we must be ready to confront them." .

Regarding his expectations for the next match, Salah said that the two teams have equal chances to qualify for the next round, and both are fully prepared for the upcoming confrontations on 6 and 14 April.

Regarding what worries him most about Real Madrid, the Egyptian star explained that Real Madrid knows how to win the European Champions League, and it always provides a good level in this tournament, and has won it 4 times in the last 10 seasons.

Salah expressed his admiration for the "royal" coach Zinedine Zidane, and said that he was his idol in his childhood, and praised his experience with Real and said, "He is a great coach, he won 3 Champions League titles with Real Madrid, and he does a very good job with the team."

He talked about the situation of Real Madrid striker Vinicius, who has great capabilities but suffers from the problem of the final touch in front of the goal and wasted opportunities for scoring, and said, "He must continue to work and the team should not worry about him, I was not born a scorer I had to work hard."

"I remember when I was playing for the Basel team, I couldn't score many goals at the time. Then I went to Chelsea, Fiorentina and Rome, there I worked a lot with the coach Spalletti .. I used to spend a lot of time after the end of the exercises to improve my performance, and I built a small playground in the garden of my home to work. On improving finishing attacks, Vinicius just needs to keep working and will naturally reach the desired goal. "

On his ambitions during the coming period, Salah said, "I hope to do the same thing that I have been doing in recent years, which is winning titles, scoring goals and helping my team win titles. This is the most important thing for me."

Salah described his relationship with coach Juergen Klopp as a "normal relationship between professionals," refusing to disclose his next destination, whether to stay in Liverpool or leave, and stressed that he does not rule out playing someday in the Spanish League.
