Sergio Ramos, the same number of games and six more goals than last season

That Sergio Ramos is the heart and soul of Real Madrid is indisputable. Cristiano Ronaldo's departure left him as Real's main man although this season he has not been able to help his side fight for titles at the end of the season.

Nevertheless, Ramos has been ever present except when he has been injured. 42 games in total for Real Madrid, the same as last season. With respect to the amount of goals he has scored, the Spaniard has stood out even more.

In the whole of the 2017-18 season he scored five goals whereas this season he already has 11. Obviously, the figure is distorted because this season he has become Real Madrid's main penalty taker after Cristiano Ronaldo was sold.

At 33 years of age, Ramos has still got a fair more to give both for Real Madrid and for Spain. The captain will be vital again for Zidane in the project the club from the capital is building.
