The memories from the 2018 Champions League final are still fresh. Real Madrid defeated Liverpool to clinch their 13'th European Cup. One of the major talking points after the game was how Salah's injury impacted the game.

There is no doubt when they meet each other, this will be the most significant personal battle in the Champions League quarterfinals this season. Former Real Madrid player Roberto Carlos added fuel to the discussions by saying Salah would go nowhere near Ramos in the match.

Liverpool are having one of the worst seasons of their recent past. Plagued by injuries, their depleted squad is struggling badly in the English Premier League. Meanwhile, Salah's stats of 17 goals in the league don't look bad for a striker. But most of the goals came in the early parts of the season.

His recent lousy form has been one of the reasons for their struggles this season. If anything can motivate him to turn his season around, an act of revenge against Real Madrid makes a good case for it. On the other hand, Ramos will be eager to show that he is still one of the world's best defenders.
