Former Real Madrid manager Vicente Del Bosque insisted that no Liverpool player, not even Mohamed Salah would make the starting XI of Real Madrid as both the sides prepare for the upcoming Champions League Final which is set to kick off on May 26 at Kiev.

Del Bosque is confident that his old club would beat Liverpool in the Champions League Final and lift the prestigious trophy for third time in a row.  

Salah, the star man of the Reds has been in staggering form this season as he helped his club to reach the final by scoring 10 goals in 12 appearances in Europe’s most elite competition. Still, Del Bosque is adamant that the Egyptian would not make Zinedine Zidane’s starting XI.

"Real Madrid have a great squad, and it's the best club in Europe right now,” Del Bosque told Spanish outlet COPE .

"They have to ratify that on Saturday. Real Madrid will beat Liverpool 4-1.

“I cannot find a single Liverpool player that improves Real Madrid, [not even] Salah,” Del Bosque insisted.

"[Gareth] Bale and [Karim] Benzema are very good.

“Benzema is a great player too, sometimes [he can go] cold, but he has given an extraordinary performance, and Cristiano Ronaldo makes them all better.”  Del Bosque praised the star studded Real Madrid XI.

Indeed, the 67-year-old, who won the Champions League and La Liga twice apiece during his reign at Santiago Bernabeu, believes the final could be something of a rout.
