Roberto Firmino used the word "idiot" to refer to the Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos prior to his comment after the last month's 3-1 Champions League final loss.
The world class defender frustrated the Egyptian attacker out of the pitch in the 35th minute of the UEFA Champions League final after tangling arms with him in a contest for the ball. This led to the substitution of the Liverpool star as Lallana was taken in.
Liverpool supporters see Ramos as the beast who willingly forced their key player off the pitch for the Spanish giants to win the match.
After the Salah's injury, Gareth Bale came in to net two wonderful goals that saw Zidane's men through to a third consecutive UCL trophy.
The 32 year old defender reportedly said he wonders why Firmino is having cold because a drop of his sweat landed on another person. The statement triggered a response from Firmino.
In a recent news conference, Firmino stated that although he would prefer not to make any comments, he saw Ramos as an idiot for the comments he had made.
Ramos' challenge triggered an online petition for UEFA and FIFA to take action against the defender, which has more than 500,000 signatures from football fans.
