Spain skipper Ramos has been accused of making sure the Liverpool ace was crocked, which he denies.

And asked if he believed the claims, Salah told : "I do not know. Maybe.

"When I fell to the ground, I had a mixture of physical pain and a lot of worry, also anger and sadness for not being able to continue playing the Champions League final.

"Moments later, I also thought about the possibility of losing the World Cup and that was a devastating thought.

The forward, who scored 32 league goals this season, added: "It is funny.
