BARCELONA: Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has brushed off allegations that he deliberately injured Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah in last month’s Champions League final, saying he is being unfairly painted as a pantomime villain.
Salah injured shoulder ligaments in a collision with Ramos in Kiev, which led to the Egypt international leaving the pitch in tears in the first half.
Ramos was subsequently targeted for online abuse for his perceived role in Salah’s injury by angry Egyptian fans.
“Bloody hell, they’ve given this a lot of attention, the Salah thing,” the Spain international told Spanish newspaper AS https://en.as.com/en/2018/06/05/football/1528204670_997457.html.
“I see the play well, he grabs my arm first and I fell to the other side, the injury happened to the other arm and they said that I gave him a judo hold.”
The 32-year-old added that he had messaged Salah and said the Egyptian could have played on if he had taken a pain-killing injection — something Ramos himself has done in the past.
Liverpool lost the final 3-1, allowing Madrid to seal their third Champions League title in a row.
However, two of Madrid’s goals came from blunders by Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius, who it later emerged had suffered a concussion during the match, according to a specialist who analysed him in the United States.
Karius clashed with Ramos early in the second half and was seen holding the side of his head after the collision, which was before he made the mistakes that led to the goals.
The suggestion that Ramos had caused Karius to suffer a concussion did not go down well with the Spaniard.
“After, the goalkeeper said that I dazed him with a clash,” Ramos added. “I am only missing (Roberto) Firmino saying that he got a cold because a drop of my sweat landed on him.”

MANCHESTER: Manchester United have signed 19-year-old Portuguese defender Diogo Dalot from FC Porto on a five-year deal with an option to extend for a further year, the Premier League club announced on Wednesday.
“Diogo is an extremely talented young defender with all the qualities to quickly become a great player for this club,” United manager Jose Mourinho said on the club’s website.
“He has all the attributes that a fullback needs: physicality, tactical intelligence and technical quality, combined with a Porto Academy mentality which prepares players for the maturity they need at the professional level.”
Dalot, who made seven appearances for Porto in all competitions last season, played a part as the club won the Primeira Liga title.
The fullback joined Porto’s youth squad, aged nine, in 2008 and came through the ranks to make his first-team debut in February.
“Joining Manchester United is an unbelievable opportunity for me. I have grown up in Porto’s academy and I am so thankful for everything they have done for me,” said Dalot, who has four international caps for Portugal’s under-21 side.
“But the chance of coming to the biggest club in the world is something I just couldn’t turn down … I’m excited about working with Jose Mourinho and learning everything I can from such a successful coach.”
United did not disclose the financial details of the transaction.
Dalot’s arrival follows the news on Tuesday that United have reached an agreement to sign Brazilian midfielder Fred from Ukraine’s Shakhtar Donetsk for a reported 52 million pounds ($69.8 million)
Two grand slam champions adorn the women’s semi-finals at Roland Garros – as well as the best player in the world, Simona Halep. The Romanian is playing well enough but, like Caroline Wozniacki did before her, she has to shake free the baggage of having no major on her CV while owning the No 1 ranking.
On Thursday she plays the first semi-final against the only player to beat both Williams sisters in slam finals, Garbiñe Muguruza, the 2016 French champion and defending queen of Wimbledon who on Wednesday made short work of Maria Sharapova, shortly before Halep had a tougher time accounting for Angelique Kerber.

Financial figures for 2016-17, for the 20 clubs that were in the Premier League during 2016-17. All details from the most recently published annual reports at Companies House. Crystal Palace have missed the deadline for filing their accounts; as a consequence, all rankings of clubs are out of 19, not 20. Net debt is as stated in the accounts; debts minus cash held at the bank. The separate categories of turnover are listed according to the wording in individual club’s accounts and are each rounded up or down, so added together they do not always tally with the total turnover figure.
