Specifically, Klopp referenced the Salah incident:

"I think in a situation like Ramos with Salah, someone needs to judge it better. Is Mr. Sergio Ramos really a good guy? He is not my favorite player. The action was brutal."

Klopp emphasized his disdain for Ramos' mentality, saying, "I could never understand that mentality. I never had players like that, and when I did, I made sure they left."
