Yeray makes it clear. If he had to choose a player from the Real Madrid defence, he would choose Raphael Varane over Sergio Ramos. The Athletic footballer stated, in an interview with 'AS', that he makes too many mistakes.
But Yeray didn't doubt that the captain is one of the best defenders at the moment, "Ramos is one of the best in the world, but he has his faults, just like everyone...", Yeray said. "He makes a lot of mistakes, his team mates cover them up for him, but we do not see this," the Athletic defender thought, as they prepare to face Real Madrid in the last game of 2019.
If he had to choose one Whites player, Ramos would not be the chosen one. "He's very good, but I would go with Varane over him," he expressed.
Mind you, Yeray doesn't take any notice of the opposing defence. "I don't usually look at the players in my position, they all have their own style," he said.
Yeray believes that Madrid are a big threat, especially in attack. "Benzema is on good form at the moment. Before, he was covered up more by Cristiano, now he is free and we are seeing what kind of player he is," he concluded.
