In the end, the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid was all about Sergio Ramos -- again. And he'll love that.
Liverpool's second shot at Los Blancos in the ultimate club final in the space of four years was supposed to be about what Mohamed Salah craved: revenge. It would be payback for the moment in 2018's final in Kyiv when Ramos hauled him down to prevent a breakaway that threatened to give Jurgen Klopp's team the lead, a decision that ended in the Egypt striker dislocating his shoulder and being led, tearfully, from the pitch in the 30th minute of what became a 3-1 defeat.
