Mohamed Salah is eyeing a summer of success for both Liverpool and Egypt with his sights set on a Champions League final win over Tottenham and African Cup of Nations glory.
The Reds have the opportunity to banish memories of last year's final defeat to Real Madrid in Kiev when they take on Spurs at the Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday, while Egypt will look to clinch their eighth AFCON title next month.

Having been forced off early on in last season's Champions League final, Salah is hoping to put and end to the club's heartbreak on Saturday, with the Egyptian claiming his side are better placed to lift the trophy this time around. Liverpool fell to a 3-1 defeat on that occasion, although the 26-year-old stated the club's 'experience' will put them in better stead twelve months on from that loss.
"I hope we can right what happened last season, get a good result, and win the competition," he told Liverpool Echo.
"We lost the first, but everything feels better this time around and we have more experience than the last time.
He added: “Not just a dream! I hope it becomes a reality and I score in the final and then go on to win the Africa Cup of Nations too.”
