‘Mo Salah will want revenge, 100%. It was a massive blow for Salah himself,’ Carragher told after Real Madrid’s stunning comeback against Manchester City.
‘For him, he’d just come alive that season and everyone knew what he was about. He got over 40 goals and that was going to be his moment.
‘Ramos definitely knew what he was doing. You talk about the dark arts of football and there’s probably nobody as bad. It’s part of football but he pushes it to the limit.
‘Ramos won’t be involved but Mo Salah will be desperate to put that final to bed. To be honest, a lot of that team – I’m thinking of the midfield, I’m sure that night it was Modric, Kroos and Casemiro – I think that will be the midfield again.
‘So even from Liverpool’s point of view there’s still a lot of players from that team – virtually the whole back four really, obviously not the goalkeeper.
‘But Salah, Mane, Firmino will all be involved, Henderson and Milner too. There’s a lot of players from that Liverpool team still there.’

Former England defender Jonathan Woodgate, meanwhile, described Real Madrid’s comeback win against Manchester City as ‘probably the best game I have ever seen’.
He told : ‘You could not write it. Phenomenal football by Real Madrid and City had no comeback.
‘What a game of football. It’s probably the best I have ever seen. An incredible performance by Real Madrid.’
