It does not help when you have Patrick Barclay, who is the chairman of the Football Writers Association, going on Talksport and saying that Ramos is a dirty player who knew what he was doing in that moment with Salah. The media fuels their belief that the world is against them and that no-one wants them to win.
However, when one of their players does something wrong, they find every excuse in the book, e.g. one of the Madrid players goes down after having his achilles kicked, it was cheating. Suarez, Gerrard etc... dives after the merest contact, it is a foul and an automatic red card for the opposing player.
As
@TheTone and many of you have posted, the BT sport team last night were so desperate for them to win and did not hide their disappointment.
