Jurgen Klopp Criticizes Sergio Ramos Again

Jurgen Klopp has reignited criticism of Sergio Ramos six years after the controversial challenge that injured Mohamed Salah during the 2018 Champions League final. Speaking on Toni Kroos' podcast, Klopp questioned Ramos's character, stating, 'Is Mr. Sergio Ramos really a good guy? He's not my favorite player. The action was brutal.' He expressed disdain for Ramos's mentality, emphasizing that he would never want players with such traits in his teams. Kroos defended Ramos, calling him a 'very good teammate,' but Klopp maintained his stance, arguing that good center-backs shouldn't engage in such actions. The incident significantly impacted the match, with Salah leaving in tears and Real Madrid ultimately winning 3-1. Klopp reiterated that he has always valued integrity in his players and could not condone Ramos's behavior.
