“I don’t want to win by any means. Of course, I would have liked to become a Champions League winner, and I would not have returned the title if shown various indiscretions.” Klopp told Sport1 [via AS].
“I do not expect that [returning the trophy] from him [Ramos], I only expect that he gives more thought to his assessment of certain situations. It may have been a coincidence, but Salah was taken out of the game during an outstanding phase of his footballing life, in the middle of the field.” added the manager.
Ramos: “What happened to Salah is sad, you never want to see that happen but with that being said I have no guilt, he locked arms with me first and after that there was nothing I can do. People complaining about it have never kicked a ball in their life” pic.twitter.com/NvxePnp14l

“Am I a good loser? No, but during our preparations, we had to talk about Ramos because he had influenced the final the previous year with a dive and a red card [for Cuadrado] against Juventus.” said Klopp.
Klopp did not end there and said, “Real Madrid have deserved to win the Champions League, nobody has ever said anything else, but do you have to have those situations with Ramos? No, you don’t.”
With all that behind him, Klopp needs to concentrate on the new season. Liverpool begin their Premier League campaign against West Ham United on Sunday.
