The controversy between Sergio Ramos and Mohamed Salah during and after the UEFA Champions League final continues, and an impromptu gesture by the Spaniard was met with mixed reactions by fans around the world.
Sergio Ramos won the Best Defender award during the gala, and as he returned to his seat, he tapped Mohamed Salah's shoulder before sitting down. Salah remained still, failing to congratulate the defender, as both Luka Modric and Keylor Navas did.
Have a look at the awkward moment during this ceremony (Image might be geo-restricted).

Tapping "that" shoulder may not have been the best decision by Ramos, but fans saw it as a chance to show their sense of humor.

Sergio Ramos is sitting on the seat just above Mo Salah's. Jurgen Klopp certainly can't be comfortable with that. #UCLDraw
