[May 21, 2022]
(Reuters) - Liverpool's forward Mohamed
Salah says they are excited to still have a chance to add the
Premier League and Champions League titles to their two domestic cup
triumphs, saying the team are optimistic ahead of the climax to the
season.
Liverpool could claim an unprecedented quadruple this season but
they must beat Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield and hope
Manchester City do not win at home to Aston Villa on Sunday if they
are to snatch the Premier League crown.
"I wish City lose or draw, and we can win the league," Salah told
beIN Sports on Friday.
"We talk to each other (as a team), and everyone is excited. This
situation happened two years ago, and they won the league. We are
all optimistic, and this is what is in your hands -- you must win
your match, and then you see what happens."
Liverpool face record 13-times European champions Real Madrid in the
Champions League final in Paris next Saturday, having already lifted
the FA Cup and League Cup.

"When (I said) I wish we could face Real Madrid,
this was as if I said something wrong about them," Salah added.
"I am talking about the strongest team in Champions League history,
and I said that because of what happened before.

"The match will be difficult, and this team has won almost against
all the strong teams. (But) I am very excited about the final and I
hope we can win it."
Real beat Liverpool 3-1 in the 2018 Champions League final held in
Kyiv following goals from Karim Benzema and a double by Gareth Bale
after Sadio Mane had equalised for the Reds.
