Klopp still upset about Ramos' tussle with Salah: It was ruthless and brutal

Sergio Ramos and Mohamed Salah

One of the main talking points from Real Madrid's Champions League final victory over Liverpool was the clash between Sergio Ramos and Mohamed Salah, with the latter injuring his shoulder and being forced off.
Jurgen Klopp has spoken about the incident again and has criticised Ramos for his actions and also for his response to the situation.
"If you watch it back and you are not with Real Madrid then you think it was ruthless and brutal," the Liverpool coach said during his side's pre-season tour.
"I saw the referee taking charge of big games at the World Cup and nobody really thinks about that later.
"But in a situation like that somebody needs to judge it better.
"If VAR is coming then it's a situation where you have to look again, not to give a red card, but to look again and say 'what is that?'
"It was ruthless.
"I'm not sure it's an experience we will have again, when you go there and put an elbow on the goalkeeper or put the goalscorer down like a wrestler in midfield and then you win the game.
"That was the story of the game."
Klopp went on to discuss the aftermath and even brought up Ramos' exaggerated reaction to a Juan Cuadrado challenge that got the Colombian sent off in the previous year's final.
"Ramos said a lot of things afterwards that I didn't like," Klopp stated.
"As a person, I didn't like the reactions from him.
"He was like, 'whatever, what do they want?
"He thought it's normal, but no, it is not normal.
"If you put all of the situations of Ramos together then you will see a lot of situations with Ramos.
"The year before against Juventus he was responsible for the red card for Cuadrado.
"Nobody talks about that afterwards.
"It's like the world out there accepts that you use each weapon to win the game.
"People probably expect that I am the same, but I'm not."
Liverpool take on Manchester United this Saturday in the International Champions Cup.

Spain 6 Croatia 0: Asensio leads destruction of World Cup finalists

Getty Images Marco Asensio grabbed a goal and forced four others as Spain put Croatia to the sword in their Nations League clash in Elche. Croatia suffered the biggest defeat in their history as Spain thrashed them 6-0 in Tuesday's Nations League match at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero. Marco Asensio scored once and set up four more in Luis Enrique's second match in charge, as the World Cup finalists were run ragged in Elche. Saul Niguez headed Spain in front before Asensio fired in two spectacular strikes, although the second was credited as an own goal from Lovre Kalinic. Croatia, for whom Ivan Rakitic was making his 100th appearance, rarely got to grips with their opponents and conceded three times more in the second half through Rodrigo Moreno, Sergio Ramos and Isco.
