Real Madrid vs Liverpool: Mo Salah to exploit THIS weakness in Champions League final
LIVERPOOL star Mohamed Salah can exploit a weakness on the left-hand side of the Real Madrid defence in tonight’s Champions League final.

That is the opinion of former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy.
Real Madrid go into this evening’s huge clash in Kiev as favourites, having won the last two Champions Leagues.
However, Murphy reckons Liverpool goalscoring sensation Salah can cause Zinedine Zidane’s side big problems.
Murphy claims if Real left-back Marcelo is as attacking as ever, there will be plenty of space for Salah to cause havoc.
I think Liverpool could cause them a lot of problems
“It’s a difficult one to analyse because both teams can be unbelievable and both can be average at times, even within the same game," Murphy told talkSPORT on Friday.
“Salah has obviously been incredible ad he’s such a threat, and Real Madrid probably have the best attacking left-back in the world in Marcelo.
“Is he going to do what he normally does and just fly forward, forget who is behind him and take a risk that real keep good possession and make those runs forward?
"Or is he going to be a bit more disciplined in keeping an eye on Salah?

“That’s one area of the pitch I think could be fascinating.
“If Liverpool go for the press and win it back and Marcelo is doing what he usually does and plays high up, I think Liverpool could cause them a lot of problems.
“It’s one of those fascinating games where within 20 minutes Liverpool could be 2-0 up or 2-0 down.”
