The tackle which forced Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah to leave the pitch 30 minutes into the Champions League final last week has featured as a question in a law exam, it has been reported.
Syrian pages on Facebook circulated images from the General Penal Code exam sat by first-year students at the University of Damascus.
"Sergio Ramos injured Mohamed Salah in the 2018 European Champions League final. Naturally, Ramos cannot be held to account for this action from a criminal law perspective due to four conditions that make the use of violence justified in sports. State these conditions."
The question seems to have been met with good humour and sporting rivalry from most students, with the opposition Enab Baladi website saying that some described the teacher who set the exam as a "defeated Barcelona fan".
Barcelona's fierce rivals Real Madrid won the final in Kiev after their 3-1 victory over Liverpool.
