Angry football fans reportedly bombarded Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos with so many death threats after the Champions League final that he had to change his phone number.
Ramos riled Liverpool and Egypt fans when he sent Reds’ talisman Mo Salah tumbling during the European final last Saturday.
The Liverpool forward left the field in tears after half-an-hour of the 3-1 defeat with a shoulder problem.
He been ruled out for three weeks, putting his hopes of making Egypt’s first World Cup group game against Uruguay on Friday, June 15 in jepoardy.
It could even mean Salah, 25, struggles to make the second game against Russia the following Tuesday.
Reports in El Partidazo de COPE have claimed Ramos and some family members were forced to change their phone numbers after receiving abusive messages.
A petition demanding UEFA punish Ramos currently has more than 500,000 signatures.
One Egyptian lawyer has even launched a £873million lawsuit against the Real Madrid man.
