Many football fans around the world have signed an online petition asking the European football governing body to punish Real Madrid defender, Sergio Ramos for “intentionally” injuring Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah.
Salah wept as he walked off the field during the UEFA Champions League 2019 final and is in danger of missing the World Cup 2018 after a tangle with the Real Madrid captain.
According to the petition on Change.org, “Sergio Ramos intentionally kept Mohamed Salah’s arm under his armpit, causing dislocation of his shoulder. Not only missing the rest of the game, but also missing the FIFA World Cup 2018.
“In addition, he kept acting that Liverpool players fouled him falsely, causing the referee to give Sadio Mane a yellow card he did not deserve.
“Sergio Ramos represents an awful example to future generations of football players. Instead of winning matches fairly, he uses tricks that defy the spirit of the game and fair play. UEFA and FIFA should take measures against Ramos and similar players, using the video recordings of matches to keep the spirit of the game.”
The petition entitled, “UEFA and FIFA should punish Sergio Ramos for intentionally hurting Mohamed Salah” has already earned over 3.30 signatures.
Meanwhile, Ramos sent out a tweet after the match wishing Salah speedy recovery.
He tweeted, “Sometimes football shows you its good side and others the bad. Above all we are fellow pros. Get well soon, Salah. The future awaits you.”
