Sergio Ramos

Sergio Ramos is an ace Spanish footballer, who is also the captain of Spain’s national football team and the Spanish club ‘Real Madrid.’ He is one of the strongest defenders in present-day football, although he also plays as a right back, from time to time. Born and raised in Andalusia, Spain, Sergio started his career as a player for a local club, ‘Sevilla FC,’ as a defender at the age of 14. He proved his mettle and was eventually promoted to the main squad of his club. His brilliant performances had him acquired by ‘Real Madrid’ in 2005. For the first few years after the transfer, he struggled to make a strong impression and his performances were mostly average. His performance peaked from 2009. Since he was a defender, his goal tally was not too high, but due to his defending skills, he became one of the four captains of ‘Real Madrid’ in the 2009–2010 season. In July 2011, his contract was extended till 2017, and in 2015, it was further extended till 2020.
