Has Ramos become the enemy of Egyptians and Arabs?

Liverpool’s famous striker Mohamed Salah’s first appearance in a Champions League final ended in tears as the Egyptian international was forced off the pitch in the 31st minute following a shoulder injury caused by a tackle from Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos.

Egyptians and Arabs alike wasted no time to share their thoughts and comments on the Twittersphere as soon as the incident happened.

Several hashtags were trending on social media shaming Ramos, and blaming him for inflicting the injury on Salah. Egyptians, who are widely known for their sarcasm and creative meme creations, sent a flurry of those as well, while thousands of Arabs flooded Ramos’s comments section on Twitter supporting Salah.

Among the trending hashtags were ‘Ramos the dog’, ‘Mohamed Salah’, and ‘We are all Liverpool’.
