Mohamed Salah is out for revenge on Real Madrid in the Champions League final, after being taken out of the same match four years ago by a challenge not even European Judo were happy about.
Salah revealed as far back as the semi final win over Villarreal that he was hoping it would be Carlo Ancelotti's side that he got to take on in Paris.
A raise of the eyebrow against Manchester City later, and Salah has his wish, something that has rather annoyed some of the Real Madrid players.
The reason the Egyptian wants to take on Los Blancos is down to his elimination from the final, against the same opposition, in the final four years ago in Kyiv.
Then the Premier League side had started brightly, with Salah at the centre of it all, until he was forced off injured by a foul by Sergio Ramos in the 31st minute.
Whilst the defender got no punishment, the European Judo Union tweeted a hilarious meme calling out the challenge for its illegality in their own sport.
With Salah off the pitch, the game began to change as Zinedine Zidane's side, going for a third Champions League title in-a-row, began taking control.
They took the lead in the second half, thanks to Loris Karius' mistake, with Karim Benzema slotting home in the 51st minute.
Four years on the key to any success for the Reds in Paris will likely revolve around stopping Benzema, but on that night his goal wasn't enough for victory, with Sadio Mane equalising four minutes later.
Gareth Bale, on as a substitute, then won the match with moments of both sublime and ridiculous, first giving Real the lead again with an acrobatic bicycle kick.
His second was another huge mistake by Karius, as the Welshman's shot from 40 yards was dropped through the keeper's hands.
Salah wasn't the only current Liverpool player affected by his injury in the aftermath, with Harvey Elliott once refusing to meet the man responsible.
Elliott was a youngster at Fulham and his extremely high potential saw him being courted by Europe's elite, before moving to Anfield in 2019.
One of the teams who were after him were Real Madrid, and the Spanish giants tried to impress the teenager by giving him the chance to meet Ramos.
The 19-year-old turned it down due to what he did to Salah, clearly having his teammate's back even before they were teammates, that's commitment!

The referee that day was a joke. How could you not even brandish the cheater Ramos a yellow? But that's gone and into the past now. We move on. But, what I wanted to say is the loss of Salah was detrimental to Liverpool mentally. So people here arguing that the loss of Salah, 44 goals scorer that season, didn't impact the game overall, are deluded and dumb and don't understand football. This sport is not just goals or taclkes, it's physical, mental and tactical. You people supporting Ramos, or Real Madrid or Valverde or any real player in this matter are a disgrace. You don't deserve to be football fans. You don't deserve to watch or play football. You lot are dumb, senseless, childish in your argument. You don't desereve a fair game.

That's history now, both the trophy and the fowl can't be retained but I think it was an entertaining game disrupted by several bad moments, A side that solely depended on 12players had 2 injured and one left was supposed to suffer but we didn't suffer in the game.

Honestly, really? Madrid was superior then than Liverpool, even with salah we would have won , and now I took time to watch Liverpools game carefully, they are not the same team 2018, the last time we met after the 2018 finals Madrid still won them, they couldn’t play an hungry spurs, spurs outplayed them, salah isn’t same salah we know, he’s still good year but honestly I don’t see them as a threat anymore compare to 2018, I still give them an edge tho over Madrid but they’re beatable, go watch villareal game too same thing, Liverpool can’t match an hungry side, Madrid will die on that pitch for the 14 🏆 even if Liverpool will win just as everyone is predicting they’ll suffer, it’s not a walk over. Respect to both team and good luck 🍀

From the picture u can see who is holding Ramos
I throw a knife to you .. you catch it and cut yourself so I'm not at fault?? [Crylaugh] Salah is challenging for the ball it's normal to make contact his arm is below Ramos arm nothing wrong but Ramos using his fore arm to lock and make a forceful turn using his body on Salah throwing him over and injury
