Football Villains #7: Sergio Ramos

Sergio Ramos holds the record for the most red cards in the history of La Liga AND the Champions League. Let that sink in. The MOST red cards. EVER. The Real Madrid legend was the king of tactical fouling, last-man challenges, elbows, and making it all look 'accidental.' He also injured Mohamed Salah in the 2018 Champions League Final with a judo move. This man is cooking!

Country: Spain Position: Centre-back Career: 2003-present Clubs: Sevilla, Real Madrid, PSG, Sevilla


The Rap Sheet

  • Holds the all-time record for red cards in La Liga — over 20 red cards in Spanish football
  • Holds the all-time record for red cards in Champions League history
  • Injured Mohamed Salah with a controversial arm-lock in the 2018 Champions League Final
  • Deliberately got himself booked to miss a 'dead rubber' match — tactical yellow card — and got banned extra games
  • Elbowed, shoulder-charged, and fouled opponents throughout a 20-year career at the highest level

The Verdict

Ramos is a Champions League legend — 4 titles, a World Cup, and a European Championship. He's also the most carded player in the history of top-level football. The ultimate winner, and the ultimate villain. Love him or hate him, you can't ignore him!


Watch the Chaos


Tomorrow: #6 — Stay tuned for the next villain!
