Ramos is the Richie McCaw of football. A brilliant player, but also a pro at gamesmanship. His red card record shows that he gets caught out a lot, but as we saw again tonight, he gets away with it more often than not.
I felt that all the hype, and all the energy, from Liverpool hobbled off with Salah. And that was thanks to Ramos. Sure, Mane got you back into it (briefly), but without the threat of Salah, the game had already swung in Madrid's favour - and then you had to rely on the only keeper I know who's worse than Almunia to keep Madrid at bay. And boy, he was extra **** tonight.
