The Egyptian was injured in the first half of the 2018 final where Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1. He was once again on the bad side of the result this year when a Vinicius Junior striker earned Real Madrid a record 14th title.

Rodrygo, in an interview with Podpah, reveals that Modric told Salah to 'try again next time.'

When a guy provokes you, sometimes you just want to win so you can make fun of them. In training, we used to say "come on Salah, come on Salah".

We knew we had to win so that we can make fun of Salah.

After the game, we passed the Liverpool players in the corridor. Salah was a bit sad and Modric said "try again next time".

It was a game marked by Liverpool's dominance but Real Madrid's goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois put in a man-of-the-match performance to thwart Salah and company severally.

Luka Modric believes Argentina will win the World Cup

At the same time, Sports Brief earlier reported that Luka Modric has touted Argentina as strong favourites to win the World Cup later this year.

The Croatian captain has claimed that Argentina are a good team and the addition of Lionel Messi makes them practically unplayable. Argentina have placed themselves in a prime position to win football’s greatest trophy by winning the Copa America and the Finalissima trophies.

The side will be hoping to go one better than their 2014 exploits where they reached the final and lost to Germany.
