Sergio Ramos continues feud with Dejan Lovren after liking Instagram post of Real Madrid star mocking Liverpool defender again
The Spain star could not resist another cheeky dig at the mouthy Croat
SERGIO RAMOS has continued his ongoing feud with Dejan Lovren - by liking a post showing the Spaniard lifting the Champions League trophy and the Croat crying.
The two defenders' spat in recent weeks escalated when Lovren went live on Instagram and appeared to brag about elbowing Ramos in the head during Croatia's 3-2 win over Spain.
Lovren took a swipe at "error prone" Ramos at the beginning of the month and named the three other centre-backs in football who are as good as him: Virgil Van Dijk, Raphael Varane and Thiago Silva.
Van Dijk joined in by suggesting Ramos is "not the best, not my type of central defender" before the Croat had his Wikipedia page comically changed to reflect his lack of silverware.
And now Ramos has dealt the former Southampton defender another blow.
The Real Madrid and Spain captain liked a photoshopped image of him lifting the Champions League trophy and mocking Lovren who is in tears after the final in May.

He was one of 970 social media users to like the post uploaded by @sergio4isco22 - presumably a Los Blancos fan - with the caption #SR4TheBest. Lovren has unsurprisingly been tagged in many of the comments.
Reports suggest Lovren called Spanish players a "bunch of p*ssies" after Croatia's Nations League win over Luis Enrique's side.
The dislike between the two players is believed to stem from that Champions League final when some Liverpool fans blame Ramos for purposefully injuring Mohamed Salah.
Croatia boss Zltako Dalic said he will speak to Lovren about his comments about elbowing Ramos but ensured the conversation would remain private.
Ramos had the latest laugh yesterday, though, as Croatia were relegated from Group A4 after squandering the lead against England at Wembley.
