its absolutely mental how theyre reporting it as if Ramos went out and judo slammed Salah with cruel intentions.
Salah started the action by locking onto Ramos then they both fell. Salah should have known better than to even go near a player of Ramos' nature and dark artistry.
from a club that have had so many dirty cunts in their teams they don't have a leg to stand on and there should be no sympathy. always the victim. always have an excuse.

Mate of mine said to me that when you really look at it they were quite fortunate with the teams they drew during the Champions League, Sevilla, Maribor etc in the group stages.
Porto and Roma, also City bottled it.
They come up against Real, first top side they face and they fall apart! Their whinging is an embarrassment.

That would be funny if we weren't eliminated by Sevilla... |

They boo Evra. Because he had the audacity to report a player who was found guilty of racially abusing him. They boo him and by extension condone racism. The Verminous cunts. |

Embarrassment of a club, manager, fans the lot of them. Must deluded bunch of melts Ive ever seen. Over 200k people have signed a petition against Ramos for the "assault" on Salah. Not seen a single scouse fan fail to use some excuse for losing yet another final. Pity it wasn’t organised via Gov.uk ,our MP’s could’ve debated the issue then 😂😂 |

Alessandro Lucarelli sat beside then-Parma manager Roberto Donadoni for an emergency press conference at the team's headquarters in February 2015.
'We have asked for protection and respect from the institutions but nobody gave us a call,' the Parma captain pleaded. 'So we decided not to play.'
Hours earlier Parma had become the first Italian team in living memory to cancel a top-flight match, calling off their game against Udinese because they didn't have enough money to pay for stewards at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
Parma were on the brink of financial oblivion. A decade after going bankrupt in 2004 the club were once again set for insolvency under new owner Tommaso Ghirardi and Lucarelli was one of the first to see it coming - telling Gazzetta dello Sport he was suspicious of how the squads' wages kept being paid on deadline day.
Lucarelli had joined Parma, where his brother Cristiano was playing, in 2008 aged 30 and helped them bounce straight back from Serie B in his first season at the club.
The defender became one of Parma's stalwarts in the five seasons that followed as the northern outfit established themselves as a solid mid-table side.
By now the captain, Lucarelli's Parma finished in sixth place in 2014 but were denied entry to the Europa League following their failure to pay a tax bill of around £200,000 in time.
Fast forward to February 2015 and soon the Italian authorities came calling - arresting owner Giampietro Manenti for embezzlement, with bailiffs seizing club vehicles and unpaid bills meaning the club were left without hot water or electricity.
But amid the crisis enveloping his club Lucarelli remained loyal, even offering to drive players up to next weekend's match at Genona to ensure they fulfilled the fixture. 'I'd be prepared to play in Serie D for Parma if it was necessary,' he declared.
Lucarelli stayed true to his word. Parma were relegated after finishing bottom of Serie A, declared bankrupt and forced to start again as Parma Calcio 1913 in the fourth tier under a group of local businessmen.
While the vast majority of the Crusaders' squad left, Lucarelli remained as a semi-professional. He was ever-present as Parma bounced back to the third tier at the first time of asking, storming to the Serie D title without losing a single match.
The following season was more complex. Parma finished second and entered the play-offs, qualifying for the final against Alessandria. Before the match television cameras caught footage of Lucarelli delivering a spine-tingling pre-match speech.
'This is everything we are: suffering, fear, sweat, sacrifice, everything that took us to play this game right now,' the captain told his players. 'Serie B is out there. 90 minutes in which we must give everything we’ve got.
'Every ounce of energy, we’ve got to give it today. And where we can’t reach with our legs, we’ll reach with our hearts. Because we deserve it. We are a real group. We’ve eaten s*** all year to get here and we must prove them all wrong.
'There is one more thing. I don’t know if I’ll have the opportunity to try again, so you need to do me a favour. Today, you need to take me into Serie B. One for all! All for one!' Inspired by their captain's words, Parma won 2-0 to earn promotion to Serie B and Lucarelli was persuaded to return for one final season at the age of 40.
After another summer overhaul which meant he was now the last man standing from their Serie A days, Parma were tipped to finish mid-table in Serie B and began with a run of three wins from their opening nine matches.
But Parma soon rallied behind their captain. From centre back he scored three times in six matches as their form dramatically improved and sparked a promotion push.
A run of eight victories from 11 games saw Parma enter the final game of the season at Spezia needing a win and other results to go their way to go up automatically.
Parma won 2-0 and Frosinone conceded an 89th-minute equaliser to confirm promotion, sparking wild celebrations on La Spezia's pitch.
They had become the first team in history to win three successive promotions and an emotional Lucarelli was reduced to tears as he was carried by his team-mates.
'I've been thinking about these days for a long time, I've been hugging Parma for 10 long years, giving myself and maybe even more,' Lucarelli told supporters gathered for Parma's promotion party. 'In Serie A now, our goal has been achieved.
'But the story I have written is with you. The promise I had made to you three years ago has been kept. There is no way you can repay me and make me more proud than this incredible achievement.' Later that night he announced his retirement.
Parma are one of Italy's most iconic clubs. Three-time Coppa Italia winners and twice UEFA Cup winners, they won the hearts and minds of supporters in the UK also through their coverage in Channel 4 show Football Italia.
Gianluigi Buffon, Fabio Cannavaro, Lillian Thuram, Hernan Crespo, Juan Sebastian Veron, Gianfranco Zola, Enrico Chiesa, Hristo Stoichkov... the list of their world class former players goes on and on.
But despite Parma's 105-year history, only one player's number has been retired - Lucarelli's No 6 shirt, confirmed by the club this week. The 41-year-old bows out as a true club icon and as football's most loyal player.
