Real Madrid captain Ramos: We know Liverpool's attack can cause damage

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos is confident they can handle Liverpool's exciting attack ahead of the Champions League final.

Salah and Roberto Firmino have been in top form for the Reds this season in leading the Merseyside club to Europe's most prestigious final.

But Ramos said: "We know they're very tough opponents.

“They are very fast going forward and can really hurt you on the break.

“Firmino and Salah are such quick and direct players who are very difficult to get hold of.

“We'll try to keep them under control and ensure they don't have one of their inspired days, because they can certainly cause you damage.

“[Liverpool are] very good technically and are full of pace, but we'll try to hurt them with our players who have similar attributes.

“We know we can also cause them problems on the counter.

“We'll try to take advantage of that and we also know we are a threat from set pieces."
