Sergio Ramos, a pillar of the team

Ramos' leadership of the Spanish national team in recent times is allowing him to transcend and become a legend for his country. He's not just a great captain at Real Madrid. He carries that responsibility well within him, and he proves it on the pitch.

Ramos has lived through some bad moments, such as the resounding elimination in the 2014 World Cup. However, he has always remained an energetic player and will until he decides to hang up his boots.

Luis Aragonés gave him his debut in the Spanish team. He began as a right-back, his natural position, both with the national team and with Real Madrid. He admired the manager and the manager had great respect for him too.
