Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Real Madrid striker, Karim Benzema, has responded to Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah\u2019s revenge wishes after the Los Blancos defeated Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second-leg a few days ago.<\/p>\n

Salah had disclosed he wanted to face Real Madrid in the final before the LaLiga champions defeated Man City 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu to qualify for the final in Paris.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian captain relished the chance to get revenge on Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s side, tweeting after their victory over Manchester City: \u201cWe have a score to settle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Real Madrid will now clash with Liverpool in the Champions League final in Stade de France on Saturday.<\/p>\n

It would be a repeat of the 2018 showpiece event, where Liverpool was defeated 3-1 against Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

And Benzema has now warned Salah, insisting that the Champions League final will be a different game.<\/p>\n

\u201cSalah can say what he wants,\u201d Benzema told Movistar. \u201cBut this is a different game.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cLiverpool has a lot of confidence. They think they have already won the match, maybe.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe they think this isn\u2019t the same Real Madrid as last time, these things. Maybe they think they are favourites.\u201d<\/p>\n
