Mr Wahba said he had filed a complaint to FIFA claiming Ramos had inflicted "physical and psychological harm" upon Salah.

He told the Egyptian television channel Sada El-Balad: "Ramos intentionally injured Mo Salah and should be punished about his actions."

"First of all we are partners.
"Early recovery, Salah. The future awaits you."

Those who created the petition to punish Ramos also criticised his performance in the rest of the match.

They wrote: "He kept acting that (sic) Liverpool players fouled him falsely, causing the referee to give Mane a yellow card he did not deserve.
"Sergio Ramos represents an awful example to future generations of football players.
"Instead of winning matches fairly, he uses tricks that defy the spirit of the game and fair play.

"UEFA and FIFA should take measures against Ramos and similar players, using the video recordings of matches to keep the spirit of the game."
