Mohamed Salah and Dejan Lovren have had a hilarious exchange over Virgil van Dijk.

Liverpool's van Dijk arrived at Anfield in January, and has helped his side reach the Champions League final in Kiev, Ukraine, against Real Madrid.

His grit and toughness in the heart of Liverpool's defence has assured Jurgen Klopp's back-line, with Salah hailing him as the 'toughest guy ever'.

'The Egyptian King' even had to look up his age, admitting he googled him.

"Let's talk about Virgil (van Dijk)," Salah said.

Lovren answered: "Ooooof many questions."

Salah replied: "Toughest guy ever. I googled how old is he?"

Lovren: "What did you expect?"

"I expected maybe 35, 36 but to be honest he's a great player, a great man, never paid in the restaurant but its fine. He's a top guy and very happy to see him around us to enjoy the way he plays," Salah hilariously said.

The PFA Player of the Year also talked about his expectation ahead of Saturday's showpiece.

"For me, each game is just a game. I focus always to win it and you know I don't just want to put myself under pressure just to not perform in my way but in the end I know it is an important game for everyone."


"Huge game and everyone is excited in the city and at the club. We have to just focus and concentrate on the game and do less mistake as much as we can," he added.
