Ramos hits back at claims he injured Salah and Karius

Ramos has received a lot of criticism since May 26, after his collision with Mohamed Salah left the Egyptian forward with a shoulder injury that forced him to withdraw 30 minutes into the final.

In addition, after American doctors confirmed that goalkeeper Loris Karius had in fact suffered a concussion during a separate collision with Ramos, that criticism has risen significantly.

However, the Spain international has dismissed those claims and has strongly denied any notion of foul play.

According to 'AS', Ramos argued: "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 put him in a judo hold.

He continued: "After the goalkeeper (Karius) said that I dazed him with a clash with me, I am only missing Firmino saying that he got a cold because of a drop of my sweat.

"I spoke with Salah through messages, he was quite good. He could have played if he got an injection in the second half, I have done it sometimes but when Ramos does something like this, it sticks a little 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".
