Sergio's Club Journey

Starting at Sevilla

Sergio Ramos was born in Camas, Seville, a town in Andalusia, Spain. He began playing football at Camas CF when he was six years old. Later, he joined the youth system of his local club, Sevilla. He made his first team debut in La Liga on 1 February 2004. He came on as a substitute in a match against Deportivo La Coruña.

In the 2004–05 season, Ramos played in 41 games for Sevilla. The team finished sixth in the league and qualified for the 2005–06 UEFA Cup. He scored his first goal in a European competition during this season. It was a header in a 2–0 win against C.D. Nacional.

Time at Real Madrid

Joining Real Madrid and Early Years (2005–2009)

In the summer of 2005, Real Madrid bought Ramos for €27 million. This was a record amount for a Spanish defender at the time. He was the only Spanish player signed during Florentino Pérez's first time as Real's president.

At Real Madrid, Ramos wore the number 4 shirt, which was previously worn by Fernando Hierro. He scored his first goal for Real Madrid on 6 December 2005 in a UEFA Champions League match against Olympiacos.

In his first few seasons, Ramos played as a centre-back. Sometimes, he also played as a defensive midfielder. Later, he moved to play as a right-back. In his first four seasons, Ramos scored more than 20 goals, which is a lot for a defender. He also received many red cards, including nine in his first four seasons. His first red card came on 18 September 2005.

In the 2006–07 season, Ramos scored five goals. One of these was in a 3–3 draw against Barcelona. Real Madrid won their 30th league title that season.

On 4 May 2008, he helped Gonzalo Higuaín score a late goal against Osasuna. This win secured Real Madrid's 31st league championship. On the last day of the season, he scored two goals in a 5–2 win against Levante.

In August 2008, Ramos scored in the 2008 Supercopa de España final against Valencia. Real Madrid won the trophy. He was named in the FIFA and UEFA Team of the Year in 2008.

Becoming a Key Player (2009–2014)

At the start of the 2009–10 season, Ramos became one of Real Madrid's four captains. Because another player, Pepe, was injured, Ramos often played as a central defender. He scored four goals in 33 league matches. On 21 February 2010, he played his 200th official match for Real Madrid.

In a 5–0 loss to Barcelona on 29 November 2010, Ramos was sent off. This red card meant he had equaled Fernando Hierro's record of ten red cards for the club. On 20 April 2011, Ramos played in the Copa del Rey final, which Real Madrid won 1–0 against Barcelona. During the celebrations, he accidentally dropped the trophy, and it was run over by the team bus!

On 12 July 2011, Ramos signed a new contract with Real Madrid until 2017. In April 2012, in a Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich, he missed his penalty kick in a shootout, and Real Madrid lost. However, they won the league title that season with a record 100 points.

In January 2013, Ramos was sent off again in a match against Celta Vigo. He received a four-match ban for insulting the referee. The next month, he received two yellow cards in one minute against Rayo Vallecano, bringing his red card total for Real Madrid to 16.

In early 2013, Ramos captained Real Madrid to two wins against Barcelona. He scored the winning goal in one of those games.

Record Red Cards and "La Décima" (2013–2014)

On 14 December 2013, Ramos received his 18th red card for Real Madrid, a club record. However, the ban was later removed. His 19th red card came in a 4–3 loss to Barcelona in March 2014.

On 29 April 2014, Ramos scored two goals in four minutes against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals. Real Madrid won 4–0, reaching the final for the first time in 12 years. His two goals were the fastest in a Champions League semi-final at that time.

On 24 May, in the Champions League final against Atlético Madrid, he scored a header in the 93rd minute to tie the game 1–1. Real Madrid then won 4–1 in extra time, claiming "La Décima" (their tenth Champions League trophy). Fans chose him as the Man of the match. Ramos finished the 2013–14 season with 7 goals, his highest tally for Real Madrid at that point.

Captaincy and Continued Success (2014–2020)

Ramos started the 2014–15 season by winning the 2014 UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla. He scored his 50th goal for Real Madrid on 8 November against Rayo Vallecano.

He scored in both the semi-final and final of the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup. He was named Player of the Match in both games and won the Golden Ball for the tournament.

Sergio's Playing Style

Sergio Ramos (5275968400)
Ramos has been described as being comfortable on the ball, possessing good technical ability and good crossing ability.

Sergio Ramos is considered one of the greatest defenders of all time. He is a strong player who can score goals from set pieces, like corners and free kicks. He is known for his tough tackles, good positioning, and amazing ability to head the ball. These skills help him win one-on-one battles against opponents.

Besides his strong defense, he is also fast and has good technical skills. He can cross the ball well. In 2015, Ramos was recorded sprinting at 30.6 kilometers per hour, making him one of the fastest footballers then. He is also very good at taking penalty kicks, often using the "Panenka" technique, which is a soft chip down the middle. He can also take free kicks because he can bend the ball.

Ramos is praised for his leadership and athletic ability. He can play as a centre-back or a full-back. When he was younger, he often played as a right-back, but later in his career, he became a top centre-back. His former Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti, compared him to the legendary defender Paolo Maldini. Both Ancelotti and Giorgio Chiellini called Ramos the best defender in the world. In 2021, striker Robert Lewandowski said Chiellini and Ramos were the toughest defenders he had ever faced. Ramos is also known for playing well in big games and scoring important goals.

However, some people in the media have questioned his consistency. He is sometimes criticized for making aggressive tackles and getting too many cards. He has also been accused of diving (pretending to be fouled).

Cards and Records

Ramos holds many records for the most cards received in football. These records are for Real Madrid, the Champions League, La Liga, El Clásico (the famous match between Real Madrid and Barcelona), and the Spain national team.

He holds the record for the most cards in La Liga, with 191 cards. This includes 171 yellow cards and 20 red cards. His card count is higher than any other player in the top 5 European leagues.

In the Champions League, Ramos has received 40 yellow cards and 4 red cards. This makes him both the most carded player and one of the most red-carded players in Champions League history.

He also holds the record for being the most carded player in the history of the Spain national team, with 24 yellow cards.

Sergio's Life Off the Pitch

Ramos started a relationship with journalist Pilar Rubio in September 2012. They have four sons: Sergio, Marco, Alejandro, and Máximo Adriano. They got engaged in July 2018 and married in Seville on 15 June 2019.

Sergio is very close to his family, especially his brothers and parents. His brother, Rene, is his football agent. Ramos is a fan of bullfighting and is friends with a bullfighter named Alejandro Talavante. He also owns a horse farm in his home region of Andalusia, where he breeds Andalusian horses. One of his horses, 'Yucatán SR4', became a World Champion in 2018. Ramos and his wife Pilar also collect art.

In June 2014, Ramos became an ambassador for UNICEF Spain, helping children in need.

Tattoos

Ramos has more than 42 tattoos on his body. These include images of Jesus, Mary, the Star of David, a lion, a wolf, a dreamcatcher, the map of Spain, a Native American chief, the hamsa, and the FIFA World Cup and Champions League trophies. He also has tattoos of his family members.

Documentaries

In January 2019, Amazon Prime and Ramos announced they would release an eight-episode documentary series about his life. It was called El Corazón de Sergio Ramos (The Heart of Sergio Ramos). During a Champions League match in March 2019, Ramos was suspended and watched from the stands. His reactions were filmed for the documentary. This caused some discussion when Real Madrid lost the match, but Ramos explained that he had made commitments to film before the game.

Because his first documentary was popular, Ramos announced in June 2020 that Amazon would release another one. This series, called La Leyenda Sergio Ramos (The Legend of Sergio Ramos), has six episodes and shows highlights from his career. It was released in Spain in April 2021 and worldwide in June 2021.
