A new angle of footage seems to suggest that it was in fact Mohamed Salah who had a hold of Sergio Ramos before he fell to the ground and suffered a shoulder injury that forced him off during Saturday's Champions League final.

Salah suffered what Jurgen Klopp described as 'a really serious injury,' after falling awkwardly as he contested for the ball with Ramos in the first half, though Liverpool's physio has since claimed the Egyptian is looking at a matter of weeks on the sidelines and not months.
The Madrid captain has nonetheless since found himself in the middle of a storm after critics whipped up a frenzy by accusing him of purposely injuring Salah in an attempt to suppress Liverpool's attacking line.
With Salah's World Cup dream still in jeopardy, Ramos is also facing a €1billion (£873.725m) lawsuit from an Egyptian lawyer - who wants to sue him on the basis of inflicting 'physical and psychological harm' to the people of his country - and a petition to get him banned from football.
Ramos was quick to dispel those beliefs by posting a get-well message to Salah on Twitter, and a new angle of footage has emerged to help shed some light on the situation and exonerate him of any blame.
In the footage, Salah is seen as the first one to grapple and lock arms with Ramos. He also appears to keep hold of the Madrid captain's arm as they both tumble towards the ground.
The 25-year-old Liverpool star, who is currently receiving treatment on his injured shoulder in Spain, has refused to blame Ramos for cutting short his final and leaving his Wolrd Cup dream hanging in the balance.
He is however only being given an outside chance of featuring in Russia, with Liverpool physio Ruben Pons claiming he will be out for three to four weeks.
Egypt kick-off their World Cup campaign against Uruguay in just two weeks' time on June 15.

Angle 1 & 2 shows Ramos couldn’t do anything but to fall. Angle 3 shows Salah was holding on Ramos trying to push him away from the ball. Angle 4 shows Ramos clears the ball Angle 5 shows Ramos was in front of Salah so he should have just given up on the ball but Salah didn’t. Angle 6 shows Salah was at an angle that he couldn’t do anything than to fall due to his acceleration Angle 7 shows he has his left foot way up to take a stand but he was too much concentrated on getting the ball IT’S JUST A MISHAP, STOP BLAMING RAMOS SPEEDY RECOVERY MO SALAH 11

In fact the second footage showed that Ramos could have released Salam's hand instead of Ramos carrying him on his back with intent of slamming him on the floor in a manner reminiscent of heavyweight wrestlers. Why?
