Sergio Ramos slams Jurgen Klopp over Champions League Final.

The Real Madrid captain mocks the Liverpool manager’s record in finals.

Real Madrid defender and captain Sergio Ramos had some strong words to say about Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp, who accused Ramos of intentionally injuring winger Mohammed Salah during the past Champions League Final won by Madrid 3-1.

Ramos was at the centre of controversy after an incident with Mohamed Salah during the first half, a challenge that ended with Liverpool’s star man leaving the field in tears with a shoulder injury that affected his World Cup with Egypt.

It also came to light after the game there had been a clash between Ramos and Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius, who was later found to have suffered a concussion.

Karius was also a subject to Ramos Brutality

Liverpool boss Klopp referred to Ramos’ actions as “ruthless and brutal” in an interview over the summer and was again critical of the Spaniard last week.

Ramos was asked about these comments as he spoke to media ahead of Real’s UEFA Super Cup match against Atletico Madrid in Tallinn on Wednesday.

Ramos told reporters: “I have given my opinion on the matter. I have no intention of hurting a player deliberately.

“He will be wanting to explain not winning the final, but it’s not the first that he has lost.

“Some of us have been operating at a very high level for many years – not sure he can say the same. Let Klopp worry about his own players.”

Liverpool were beaten 3-1 by Real. It was the sixth time Klopp, the former Borussia Dortmund boss, had lost in seven finals contested as a manager.

Ramos added: “When we voted on the best managers I voted for him, so he can relax.”
