The Internet Has Not Been Kind To The Footballer Who Went Down With Mo Salah
The world held its breath when Liverpool footballer Mohamed Salah went down in the finals of the UEFA Champions League final.
The news that Liverpool’s golden boy had dislocated his shoulder was heartbreaking for both Liverpool fans AND Egyptians and it was difficult to watch.
The moment…
Sergio Ramos was the Real Madrid player who went down with Salah and people have a LOT to say about the tackle, very much depending on which side you were supporting.
The moment is being replayed over and over from every angle, and everyone’s got an opinion…

NO class…
@SergioRamos knew exactly what he was doing. He for sure didn’t want to harm him, but he definitely wanted to stop @MoSalah at any cost. He’s taller, more built, and didn’t use his shoulder to stop Mo; instead came from above to stop his pace completely. No class what so ever!

So much online negativity lead one user to this…
I think it is probably safe to say @SergioRamos will not be able to visit Egypt for the rest of his life judging from the comments on social media .

Sergio Ramos tweeted Mo Salah a get well soon message
It got 39k responses, but the negativity continued
El fútbol te enseña la cara más dulce a veces y la más amarga otras. Ante todo somos compañeros. Pronta recuperación, Salah. El futuro te espera.||Sometimes football shows you it’s good side and other times the bad. Above all, we are fellow pros. #GetWellSoon @MoSalah
