Mohamed Salah would rather face Real Madrid than Manchester City in the final of the Champions League in Paris as they target the quadruple after seeing off a spirited Villarreal performance in the last four.
Liverpool survived a huge scare in Spain to reach their 10th European Cup/Champions League final, with Fabinho, Luis Diaz, and Sadio Mane scoring second-half goals after Villarreal wiped out the Reds first-leg lead in an unbelievable first half.
Liverpool have become the first team to reach the finals of the European Cup/Champions League, the FA Cup, and the League Cup in a single season, and trail City by just one point in an absorbing Premier League title race.
The Reds incredible form has led to talk of Jurgen Klopp s team lifting four major trophies a…
Matt Turner will join Arsenal from the New England Revolution in June after the long-expected deal was confirmed on Friday.
The United States goalkeeper will formally complete his move to the Gunners when he takes a medical, but that is all that stands between the 27-year-old and a switch to the Premier League.
It marks a major step in Turner s career, with a fee of £7.5million reportedly agreed as Mikel Arteta brings in a player who was goalkeeper of the year in Major League Soccer last season, and one who will provide competition for Aaron Ramsdale.
Previous winners of the MLS award include Brad Friedel, Tim Howard and Zack Steffen, who all moved on to the Premier League.

Christian Eriksen struck in injury time to give Tottenham a 1-0 Premier League victory over Burnley on Saturday.
Sean Dyche s men withstood the pressure in front of a sparse crowd at Wembley, thanks partly to two excellent saves from goalkeeper Joe Hart, until substitute Eriksen scored in the 91st minute.
Mauricio Pochettino made five changes to the team that drew with Barcelona this week, handing a first Premier League start to 18-year-old Oliver Skipp, and his side certainly lacked their customary cutting edge against a rigid Burnley rearguard.
However, the introduction of Eriksen proved crucial as Spurs moved back to within five points of league leaders Manchester City.

According to a recent report from L’Equipe, Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud is set to hold talks with the club as he goes after some assurances following a distinct lack of playing time as of late. The veteran forward has only started one game in the Premier League so far this season, with some of the younger stars being given the priority spots. Giroud isn’t exactly said to be passionately going after a move away from Stamford Bridge, but at the same time, he is definitely going to entertain the idea if and when Frank Lampard lets him know that he isn’t going to be featured all too regularly in their first team plans from this point on.
The expectation is that a side like Inter Milan could make a move as they’ve already noted how interested they are in the French…
