REVEALED: How Real Madrid stars mocked Mohamed Salah before and after the Champions League final, with Luka Modric telling him 'try again' and players calling out his name after vows for 'revenge'

Daily Mail | June 17, 2022

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has admitted his side wanted to 'make fun of' Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in the Champions League final last month.

After the Egyptian went off injured in first half of the 2018 final between the two teams - which Real won 3-1 - Salah said he wanted 'revenge' ahead of the final, which Real won 1-0 in Paris.

And in an interview with Podpah, Rodrygo said that Salah's comments provided extra motivation for his side to lift their 14th Champions League trophy.
