Egyptian Lawyer Launches €1 Billion Lawsuit Against Sergio Ramos For Mo Salah Tackle

On Saturday evening the world watched on in awe in the highly-anticipated Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid.

The final, which took place in Kiev, was to many a battle between Mo Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo – and judging from the first 20 or so minutes of the game, it was shaping up to be an epic.

Possession was end to end, there were numerous shots and crosses into the box from both sides, however that all came to an end around 25 minutes into the game.

As I’m sure by now you are all aware Salah went to the floor before crawling around in agony. Though no foul was spoken about by the referee many are claiming that Salah was intentionally taken down by Real Madrid’s marmite defender, Sergio Ramos.

Why? Because in footage of the incident, Ramos can be seen holding Salah’s arm in place in an awkward position – which he proceeds to fall on – bringing on suspected ligament damage in the process.

Salah tried to play on but his attempt was short-lived – going off for the rest of the game just moments later due to the injury which has since put his involvement with the Egyptian national team at the World Cup in jeopardy.

One man who really isn’t happy about all of this is none other than Egyptian lawyer, Bassem Wahba, who has launched a €1 billion (£873m/$1.2bn) lawsuit against Sergio Ramos for the controversial challenge.

Yes that’s right, Wahba has launched a gargantuan €1 billion lawsuit against the Spanish defender. Jeez.

According to Goal, while appearing on Egyptian television channel Sada El-Balad , Wahba announced he had filed a complaint to FIFA, saying:

"Ramos intentionally injured Mo Salah and should be punished about his actions. I’ve filed a lawsuit and a complaint to FIFA. I’ll ask for compensation, which could exceed €1 billion, for the physical and psychological harm that Ramos gave Salah and the Egyptian people".
