‘I’ll never have player like you in my team’ – Jurgen Klopp slams Real Madrid legend

Former Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he was not a big fan of former Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos.

Klopp said he would never have had a player like the Spaniard playing in his team.

Klopp managed to win the UEFA Champions League once at Anfield, but before then had his share of difficulties against Ramos and Los Blancos.

Liverpool suffered a 3-1 defeat in the final of the Champions League tournament to Real Madrid in 2018.

Ramos was criticized for bringing down Mohamed Salah, who was forced off in the 30th minute of the tie with a shoulder injury.

Speaking about Ramos, MARCA quoted Klopp as saying (via Football Espana): “If you see him again and you’re not from Real Madrid you think he’s ruthless and brutal.

“If you put together all of Ramos’ actions, and I’ve watched football since I was five years old, you’ll see that a lot of things happen with Ramos. I think in a situation like Ramos with Salah someone needs to judge it better.

“Is Mr. Sergio Ramos really a good guy? He is not my favorite player. The action was brutal. Of course, he can’t know it’s going to hurt his shoulder but we all know he accepted it very happily. I could never understand that mentality, I never had players like that and, when I did, I made sure they left.”
