Speaking to the press after the England match last night, Ramos revealed that the reaction to the incident with Mo Salah, in which the pair tangled arms and Salah came out with a dislocated shoulder, was so bad that he received death threats from aggrieved Liverpool and Egypt fans.
Speaking in the mixed zone, Ramos said:
"One tries to evade [the boos]. In the end you feel it, but I stay out of everything. It doesn't affect my game.
"I would have liked another reception because people only remember the action of the final, and nobody remembers the death threats that my family and my children received."
"It is a very sensitive issue that people maybe take as a joke about and [that's why they] whistle in a great stadium like this. My conscience is very clear. I already explained [what happened], and I do not have to give more explanations."
Ramos has repeatedly denied that he had any intention of hurting Salah in the challenge, but still receives torrents of abuse for the injury it caused.
"You never expect a reception that is not good because, as I said the other day, if these [English] fans have something good, it is that they have always been with the great players. It has not been like that, but I am very calm, with my conscience very clear in that aspect.
"As I said before, I have never tried to hurt a colleague. There are people who may have misunderstood it, but these are football things. It will not change anything in my game or in me."England fans face being kicked out of stadium for chants during World Cup
