Sergio Ramos' controversial tackle on Mohamed Salah in the 2018 UEFA Champions League final has been described as a 'masterstroke' by one of the world's best defenders.
Salah was forced off in the first half after injuring his shoulder in a challenge with Real Madrid defender.
There have been arguments about whether Ramos did it accidentally or not, but Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini believes the Spaniard knew what he was doing.
"He's the best defender in the world," The defender said in his autobiography, leaked 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.
"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 ten, falling like he did and by not letting go, he risked breaking his opponent's arm."
