Mohamed Salah injury: Sergio Ramos purposely ‘roughed up’ Liverpool star - Dean Saunders
REAL MADRID captain Sergio Ramos tried to “rough up” Mohamed Salah in the Champions League final - but he did NOT deliberately injure the Liverpool star.
That is the opinion of former Liverpool and Wales striker Dean Saunders.
Ramos tangled with Salah midway through the first half of the clash on Saturday.
The Real Madrid defender fell on Salah and the Egyptian landed awkwardly, dislocating his shoulder in the process.
Many Liverpool fans believe Ramos purposely injured Salah but Saunders would not go that far.
TALKSPORT/GETTY
There’s lots of people irate about it, I don’t think it was deliberate. He did foul him, he did try and rough him up
“The biggest controversy we are going to have today is did Ramos mean to hurt Salah like he did?,” he said on talkSPORT.
“There’s lots of people irate about it, I don’t think it was deliberate.
“He did foul him, he did try and rough him up.”
Fellow talkSPORT pundit Ally McCoist also refuted claims Ramos purposely injured Salah, despite his littered disciplinary record at Real Madrid.

“He did foul him and his disciplinary record isn’t great,” McCoist said.
“I think he’s been sent off the best part of mid-20s, it might even be 27 times.
“But in my own opinion there is absolutely no way he went out to dislocate Salah’s shoulder there at all.”
