Ramos 'ruthless, brutal' in final Champions League, says Klopp

(Reuters) – Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp has slammed Real Madrid's captain Sergio Ramos for his foul on Mohamed Salah in May's Champions League final, saying the Spanish defender has come down to the forward like a wrestler.

Liverpool scoring 44 goals in all competitions and helped the club reach the Champions League final against the Spanish giants.

The Egyptian talisman went down under a challenge from Ramos inside the first half of the day.

"We are opening that bottle again?" Klopp asked in a news conference ahead of Liverpool's International Champions Cup game against Manchester United at the Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.

"It is action-reaction-action-reaction and I do not like that goal – it's not so much that you do not have Real Madrid – then you think it's ruthless and brutal.

"I saw the ref 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 is a situation where you have to look again. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> What is that? "

Salah left the pitch in tears in Kiev with huge questions hanging over his participation at the World Cup in Russia.

Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius, who has suffered a blow during the match, made a couple of blunders to concede two goals against Madrid who won 3-1.

Karius clashed with Ramos early in the second half and was seen holding the head of the head after the collision, which came before him.

Ramos later brushed off allegations that he had deliberately injured Salah, saying he was being unfairly painted as a pantomime villain.

"I'm not sure it's going to be a goalkeeper, and they're going to like it to win a game. That was the story of the game, "Klopp said.

"Ramos said a lot of things afterwards that I did not like. As a person I did not like the reactions of him. He was like: 'Whatever, what do they want? It's normal '.

"No, it is not normal. If you're going to have a lot of situations with Ramos then you're going to have a lot of situations with Ramos. People probably expect that I am the same. I am not. "
