It is always difficult to ascribe intent in football, but even loyalists to the Real Madrid defender must admit that given a chance to put the opposition’s most important player out of Champions League final, the caricature of Ramos as a comic book villain means many think he would take it. What is certain is that Salah’s withdrawal sucked the momentum out of a Liverpool side previously crackling with potential and greatly enhanced Madrid’s chances of lifting their third consecutive European Cup. This is why the words ‘one-man team’ – often a hollow criticism, anyway – have so rarely been used to describe Jurgen Klopp’s side, despite one of their number having an outstanding individual campaign.
