I mean, a Spaniard at Liverpool, to give it that level. That way we take a great player from Barca and hand him to Liverpool.“Since I’m a [Real] Madrid fan and a Liverpool fan too, I’ll be keeping half an eye on both of them this year.

It’s going to be difficult to replace Salah, though.“He is a young right winger with a bright future ahead, and it would be good for Real Madrid not to see him with Barca, so better to see him play for Liverpool. That way, he’s with a team that I love, and I can enjoy seeing him win titles.”Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
