Sergio Ramos touches Mo Salah on THAT shoulder after winning Uefa best defender at Champions League draw
Real Madrid captain Ramos dragged Salah to ground the final of last season's tournament and caused an injury that forced the Liverpool star off the pitch
SERGIO RAMOS didn't let Mo Salah out of his sight in the Champions League final until he saw the Liverpool star head down the tunnel.
And you could almost see Salah flinch when when Ramos put his hand on THAT shoulder during the draw for this season's competition.
To the amusement of watching fans, Salah was again at a mere arm's length in Monaco with Ramos sat right behind him.
Ramos was named the competition's best defender for his role in securing Real Madrid's third straight European crown.
After collecting his gong from the stage in Monaco, Ramos returned to his seat and rubbed salt in Salah's wounds by tapping him on the same shoulder that he injured in Kiev.
As Luka Modric turned to congratulate his Real team-mate with a handshake, Salah snubbed the Spaniard and looked straight ahead.
While Salah has not openly criticised Ramos for the incident in Real's 3-1 win in May, his manager has not been shy.
Ramos dragged Salah to ground in the first half and the Egyptian ace damaged shoulder ligaments as the duo hit the deck together with their arms entangled.
Salah had to leave the field after half an hour and was had still not recovered in time to face Uruguay in Egypt's World Cup opener three weeks later.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp initially branded Ramos "brutal" and "ruthless" over the incident.
And this month the German took a fresh swipe at the Ramos for his win-at-all-costs approach.
Klopp said: “I do not expect that from him [Ramos], I only expect that he gives more thought to his assessment of certain situations.
“It may have been a coincidence, but Mo Salah was taken out of the game during an outstanding phase of his footballing life, in the middle of the field.
“Many people will say that these things happen.
“But if that is the message we are sending to our children, that nothing is out of bounds and it’s all about winning, then I will be glad to leave this planet in 40 years."
