Sergio Ramos discusses Mohamed Salah injury in Champions League final


Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has discussed Mohamed Salah's injury in the Champions League final for the first time since the game in Kiev.

Liverpool's star man Salah was forced off through injury with half an hour played after a clash with the Spanish international, who has since drawn criticism for the incident.

Ramos also addressed a coming together between him and Reds goalkeeper Loris Karius, after recent tests highlighted that Karius had suffered concussion during the encounter.

Speaking to AS, Ramos stated: "They've given this a lot of attention, the Salah thing.

"I didn't want to speak because everything is magnified. I see the play well, he grabs my arm first and I fell to the other side, the injury happened to the other arm and they said that I gave him a judo hold."

The defender then proceeded to mock some complaints against him by suggesting that: "After the goalkeeper said that I dazed him with a clash. I am only missing Firmino saying that he got a cold because a drop of my sweat landed on him.

The defender went onto say: "I spoke with Salah through messages he was quite good.

"He could have played if he got an injection for the second half, I have done it sometimes but when Ramos does something like this, it sticks a little bit more.

"I don't know if it's because you're at Madrid for so long and win for so long that people look at it a different way."

Real Madrid won the game 3-1, with Gareth Bale scoring a superb brace after joining the game as a second-half substitute.
