The role of Sergio Ramos

As captain Ramos not only motivates his teammates but also has the experience and quality that can differentiate the final results of the match. Ramos has made 20 appearances for Madrid this season, scoring four goals and providing one assist.

This season he has missed 27 matches in all competitions due to injury and Nacho has replaced him. That is one of the lessons learned from Ramos’s injury, Zinedine Zidane can play other center-back options.

Nacho, Eder Militao, became options to be played as a substitute for Ramos. Ramos’ absence also trains Madrid to prepare to play without Ramos in the future.
