LOVE him or HATE him, Sergio Ramos is one of the greatest defenders in football history! The Real Madrid legend won EVERYTHING — Champions League (4 times!), La Liga, World Cup, Euros — and he did it while scoring goals, getting red cards, and being the most controversial defender on the planet. The ultimate warrior!
Career Highlights
- Won 4 Champions League titles with Real Madrid — scoring in multiple finals including the 2014 stoppage-time equalizer
- His 93rd-minute header against Atlético Madrid in the 2014 Champions League Final is one of the most iconic moments ever
- Won the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2008 and Euro 2012 with Spain — three major international trophies
- Scored over 100 career goals as a CENTRE-BACK — one of the highest-scoring defenders in history
- Holds the record for most red cards in La Liga history — the ultimate villain-hero of Spanish football
The Verdict
Ramos is the most decorated Spanish defender of all time — and possibly the most dramatic. That header in 2014 alone would make him a legend. Add the red cards, the goals, and the trophies, and you have one of the most COMPLETE centre-backs football has ever seen!
