DBasia.news – Sergio Ramos labeled Zinedine Zidane as a unique figure after Real Madrid secured the Spanish LaLiga title on Friday (17/7) AM, emphasizing that everything he touched turned into gold.
Madrid ahead of the match at Alfredo Di Stefano last night knew that a win would be enough to take them to be the Spanish champions for the third time in the last decade.
In this party, Karim Benzemea opened the scoreboard for the home side, with him completing the opportunity after receiving Luka Modric’s assist in the 29th minute.
Los Blancos waited to get the second goal, which came in the second half after Ramos won a penalty in the 77th minute.
The Madrid captain came forward to take the penalty, but he chose to provide a pass to complete Benzema, but the referee asked for it to be repeated.
Benzema then advanced as an executioner on the second occasion and managed to break through the opponent’s goal for the 21st time in LaLiga this season, as well as being decisive.
Villarreal received a consolation goal seven minutes before dispersal through Vicente Iborra, but Madrid managed to maintain its victory to come out as champions of Spain.
Ramos then praised Zidane to LaLiga TV, while hoping the 48-year-old figure would continue to train Madrid for the next few years.
“Everything that Zidane touches turns into gold,” the Madrid defender said. “We trust him and the work he does. He is a person who makes a difference, he is a figure that is trusted by players, and only a few can have that.
“We hope he stays here for a very long time, he is unique.”
Ramos later added that Madrid were well-suited for this title, dismissing allegations that his team had made a number of VAR decisions since restarting the competition.
He continued: “This title is a result of our work, consistency and balances [we do]. What we do has great values, regardless of what others say.
“At work, when you do it right, you will be rewarded. There have been many attempts in winning ten consecutive matches.
“This is an unusual season, we have to win everything, we don’t depend on ourselves at first. Making mistakes is not in our heads and we have shown it.
“These games cannot be won easily. We have 34 titles and this is my fifth with Real Madrid, I am very happy.”
