This goal means Sergio Ramos goes level with Raphael Guerreiro, Phillip Max and Martin Hinteregger with eight cgoals for their respective clubs, all of those in a Bundesliga season which is about to finish. 

In this way, the Real Madrid central defender have other seven opportunities to become the leader on his own. He has shown he is more than just a defender.
