Sergio Ramos looked to have injured Mohamed Salah in the Champions League final by bringing him to the ground - but new footage has emerged suggesting that the Egyptian King had a part to play. The final was a match rife with talking points. Gareth Bale's worldie goal, Loris Karius' two howlers that cost Liverpool , and Salah having to be substituted just after the half hour after being taken down by the Real Madrid captain. Loading… Liverpool went on to lose the match 3-1, but the premature exit of their star man sent Reds fans into meltdown. Advert 10 A petition was set up by furious Liverpool supporters, demanding that action be taken against Ramos for his seemingly intention foul on Salah. It said via Change.org: "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." But this is just the tip of the iceberg: it's reported that an Egyptian lawyer launch a massive £875,000 lawsuit against Ramos for his part in Salah's injury.

Good to know. - Joe Saddington (@thickguru) May 29, 2018 When this low life operates in this thuggish manner UEFA always manage to look the other way! He's got away with it for far too long.

But despite the anger and bile aimed at 33-year-old Ramos, a new angle of the incident has come to surface. This one shows the Egyptian King tugging on Ramos' arm as he falls, suggesting that Salah might not be as innocent as first thought. Why is everyone missing that it was Salah that wrapped his arm around Ramos first? pic.twitter.com/zr9ZlyuSYS - Craig (@craiglcfc) May 27, 2018 Advert 10 You choose an image to make Ramos a bad guy. But Salah grabbed Ramos arms just before they start falling... What happens next was just bad luck for Salah... pic.twitter.com/Y3gKEaFwyS - Marcio Jasinski (@marciogj) May 27, 2018<doc-sep>The Spanish defender has received widespread criticism for his tackle on the Egyptian that caused him to leave the Champions League final The European Judo Union has criticised Sergio Ramos's tackle on Mohamed Salah in the Champions League final, insisting that such a takedown would not be allowed in their sport. Ramos and Salah locked arms during Real Madrid's 3-1 win over Liverpool, with the Spanish defender ultimately pulling his Egyptian counterpart to the ground. Salah dislocated his shoulder in the scuffle, and was forced off the pitch in tears with the score at 0-0, thus throwing his participation in the World Cup into serious doubt. Waki-gatame is a dangerous technique. That's why it is not allowed in Judo to use for transition to ne-waza. What do you think about this foul yesterday evening in the #UCLFinal between #RMALIV ? pic.twitter.com/mHmADyG7LB — European Judo Union (@europeanjudo) May 27, 2018 So divisive has the tackle been, fans have set up a petition calling for Ramos to be punished, which currently has over 300,000 signatures, while an Egyptian lawyer has launched a €1 billion (£873m/$1.2bn) lawsuit against the centre-back. And now another sport has weighed in on the controversy, the European Judo Union insisting that Ramos's move would be deemed illegal in their circles.

Salah will continue to receive treatment for his injury in Spain, the Egyptian Football Association has confirmed, as he bids to be fit in time for the World Cup in Russia. Watch out, Sergio Ramos! The Real Madrid defender has angered quite a few people following his collision with Mohamed Salah. 😮 (Cartoon by @omomani) pic.twitter.com/S3yEpOJoNO — Goal (@goal) May 29, 2018 Egypt face hosts Russia, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay in Group A.<doc-sep>Lovers of truth, beauty and honour are still smarting after Evil Sergio Ramos evilly contrived to judo-hold Mo Salah into the ground in an evil and, you have to admit, very successful attempt to stop the Egyptian from sprinting past him every few minutes during Saturday's Champions League final. However, where there's a moral outcry, there's a change.org petition. More than 460,000 people have signed a petition calling for Ramos to receive punishment for dragging Salah – along with notions of sportsmanship and common decency – to the ground. The petition states that Ramos "intentionally kept Mohamed Salah's arm under his armpit, causing dislocation of his shoulder" and thereby ruining not just the rest of the game but the World Cup, too. It doesn't stop there. The petition says Ramos should be tried for being a horrible little cheat and a liar and really, really mean, possibly at The Hague. "He kept acting that Liverpool players fouled him falsely, causing the referee to give Manne [sic] a yellow card he did not deserve," the petition bleats. "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." Then again, petitions rarely turn into actual legal action. That's where Bassem Wahba, an Egyptian lawyer, comes in. He's filed a $1 billion (£873 million) lawsuit against Ramos as well as making a complaint to Fifa alleging "physical and psychological harm" by Ramos on Salah. "Ramos intentionally injured Mo Salah and should be punished about his actions," Wahba told Egyptian TV station Sada El-Balad, not unreasonably. Wahba went on: "I'll ask for compensation, which could exceed €1bn, for the physical and psychological harm that Ramos gave Salah and the Egyptian people." This content is imported from Twitter.

Salah tweeted that he is "confident that I'll be in Russia to make you all proud". He added, "Your love and support will give me the strength I need." Ramos has tweeted his good wishes to Salah and his hopes for a speedy recovery. "Sometimes football shows you its good side and other times the bad," Ramos said. "Above all, we are fellow pros. #GetWellSoon" It's a lot easier to be magnanimous when you've won a fourth Champions League in five seasons, yes, but still.
