‘I’ll Never Have Player Like You in My Team’ – Jurgen Klopp Blasts Real Madrid Legend

Esther

Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has expressed his strong opinions about Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos.

Speaking on the Einfach mal Luppen podcast hosted by Toni Kroos and his brother Felix, Klopp did not hold back in his criticism of the Spanish defender. He stated, "I'll never have a player like you in my team," highlighting his disapproval of Ramos' style of play.

Klopp's comments stem from a notorious incident during the 2018 UEFA Champions League final, where Ramos was involved in a controversial challenge that led to Liverpool's Mohamed Salah suffering a shoulder injury.


Reflecting on this, Klopp remarked, "If you see him again and you’re not from Real Madrid, you think he’s ruthless and brutal." He further added, "The action was brutal. Of course, he can’t know it’s going to hurt his shoulder but we all know he accepted it very happily."


The German coach emphasized that he could never understand the mentality behind such actions and made it clear that he would not tolerate similar behavior in his teams.


Klopp's tenure at Liverpool was marked by a commitment to fair play and sportsmanship, values he evidently felt were compromised by players like Ramos. Despite his success with Liverpool, including a Champions League victory, Klopp's experiences against Real Madrid and Ramos left a lasting impression, shaping his views on the type of players he prefers to work with.
