The German chatted to Toni and Felix Kroos on his podcast and asked the former Real Madrid player what the Spanish centre-back was like in the dressing room. Following the former midfielder's response, the ex-Liverpool boss said he found it "hard to believe" he was a good teammate after what happened with Mohamed Salah in the 2018 Champions League final.

Jurgen Klopp has made it clear in recent hours that he is not a fan of Sergio Ramos. The German had already spoken in the past about the former Real Madrid defender and this was one of the topics of conversation between Klopp and Toni and Felix Kroos on the podcast Einfach mal Luppen.
The coach's animosity towards the Spanish player began in the 2018 Champions League final in Kyiv. A tackle by the defender on Mohamed Salah ended with the Egyptian injuring his shoulder in the first half. That game still haunts Klopp, who reminisced about it in the chat with the Kroos brothers.
"Is Mr Sergio Ramos really a good guy? He's not my favourite player. The action was brutal. Of course, he can't know that it's bothering his shoulder, but we all know that he accepted it very happily," Klopp said.
"I could never understand that mentality, I never had players like that and, when I did, I made sure they left. He may not be my favourite player, but it doesn't matter. I always thought that my centre-backs were good enough not to be involved in actions like that," he added.
