Sergio Ramos believes he would be “delighted” if a goal helped Sevilla secure a vital victory over Real Madrid on Sunday, but he won’t rejoice if himself scores.
Consequently, what happened?
After a 16-year career that saw him win five Champions Leagues and five La Liga championships, the defender makes his first visit to the Santiago Bernabeu as an opponent.
Ramos is ready for what promises to be an emotional event, and he would not celebrate a goal out of loyalty to the team and the supporters. He does, however, acknowledge that he would be overjoyed to help his struggling Sevilla team win three vital points.
Ramos told DAZN, “I have a lot of respect for Real Madrid and the fans.” “I won’t rejoice if I score, but if I’m fortunate enough to score and it’s enough to win, I’ll be happy because those three points will be really helpful.
“I’ll feel at home because I’ve spent a lot of time there, experienced some of the most significant moments of my career, and have amazing memories of the supporters and my teammates.” It will be a special and poignant occasion.
Every year, Real Madrid is favoured to win every title. They have players of exceptional calibre, are leaders, and are now enjoying success. We intend to play a solid game there because we are familiar with the stadium.”
Ramos did participate in the match between Real Madrid and Andalusia in October of this year; Dani Carvajal’s late goal for Los Blancos resulted in a share of the spoils.
In Ramos’s debut season at PSG, a trip back to the Bernabeu was planned when the teams were paired in the Champions League round of sixteen; however, the defender was forced to withdraw due to a calf injury.
On Sunday night, primetime television viewers will be watching as Madrid looks to put more pressure on Girona, who is in second place, while Sevilla looks to keep up the winning streak that has helped them escape the drop zone.
