The Spanish defender has received widespread criticism for his tackle on the Egyptian that caused him to leave the Champions League final

The European Judo Union has criticised Sergio Ramos's tackle on Mohamed Salah in the Champions League final, insisting that such a takedown would not be allowed in their sport.

Ramos and Salah locked arms during Real Madrid's 3-1 win over Liverpool, with the Spanish defender ultimately pulling his Egyptian counterpart to the ground.

Salah dislocated his shoulder in the scuffle, and was forced off the pitch in tears with the score at 0-0, thus throwing his participation in the World Cup into serious doubt.
