The 2018 Champions League final is significant for a variety of reasons. Real Madrid achieved an unprecedented hat-trick by winning the Champions League for the third consecutive season. Cristiano Ronaldo, the club's all-time greatest player, announced his departure following the match.
Despite this, the 2018 Champions League final will be remembered for the story of Sergio Ramos and Mohamed Salah. Is there any such tale? Ramos made a strong challenge on Mohammad Salah shortly after the game began.
Salah was unable to play in the following match due to his injury. Liverpool's results suffered as a result of Salah's absence. Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 3-1 thanks to two goals from Gareth Bale and a goal from Karim Benzema.
Even after the match, the repercussions of the incident lingered. At various times, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, striker Roberto Firmino, defender Dean Lovren, and Ramos himself made remarks.
Salah and Ramos will play in the Champions League knockout stage for the third time in three years. Salah is a better player now than he has ever been. Meanwhile, Ramos' game did not deteriorate in any way. When the two go out on the field, will there be any signs of that incident on them, even if it's just a little?
Salah, at the very least, is oblivious to this. Salah confessed to suppressing incidents in the past in an exclusive interview with Marca, a Madrid-based news source."The match is now part of history," he says. His only ambition is to do well in the next match. It's pointless to reflect on what has happened in the past. I'm just worried about my squad at the moment. Everyone is thinking about their squad, and they all want to win this game.'
Since the announcement that Liverpool will face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, the word "revenge" has been bandied around. What's going through Salah's head?
Salah didn't want to address the question in a "provocative" way. The club's interest, like the perfect "Gang Man," has been seen first and foremost; "All I can tell is that making the semi-finals would be an extra motivation for all of us."Isn't it true that whatever happens in this match will have no impact on the outcome of the match in Kiev? So, what's the point of obsessing about that game? That is no longer an issue. 'I'm not contemplating any form of retaliation.'
Liverpool has progressed past Leipzig in the Round of 16 quarter-finals. In the meantime, Real Madrid was defeated by Atalanta in the quarterfinals. On the 7th of next month, the two teams will play their first leg at Real's Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano. The second leg will be held at Anfield in Liverpool.
