Juventus defender, Giorgio Chiellini has given his opinion on Sergio Ramos's takedown of Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in the 2018 Champions League final.
According to Chiellini, the tackle was described as a 'masterstroke'.
In the final of the UEFA Champions League, Sergio Ramos grabbed Salah by the arm and pulled him to the ground.
This reportedly caused Salah to leave the field with a shoulder injury.
Chiellini writes in his new autobiography, as reported by AS: 'They say he's impulsive, not tactical at all, that 8-10 goals are conceded each season through his mistakes, that he's very technical and that he could be a striker, which is the opposite of me.
Chiellini, believes Ramos is 'the best defender in the world despite his mistakes during the game for Los Blancos.
He added: 'However, he has two characteristics that almost no-one else has. He knows how to be decisive in big games, with interventions that go beyond any logic, that even cause injuries with almost devilish wit.
'The one on Salah in the 2018 Champions League final was a masterstroke. He's always said that he didn't do it on purpose, knowing that nine times out of 10, falling like he did and by not letting ho, he risked breaking his opponent's arm.'
Ramos wasn't shown a card for the foul on Salah. Ramos later collided with the Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius, causing him to suffer concussion that resulted in two mistakes leading to Real goals.
Real Madrid went ahead to defeat Liverpool 3-1 after Karius made two goal keeping errors, one against Benzema and the other against Gareth Bale.
