Sergio Ramos García (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈserxjo ˈramos ɣarˈθi.a]; born 30 March 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Madrid and Spain. Mainly a central defender, he can perform equally as a right back. After emerging through Sevillas youth system, he went on to be a defensive mainstay for both Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, gaining his first cap at the age of 18. Internationally Ramos participated in two World Cups and two European Championships, winning the former tournament in 2010 and the latter in 2008 and 2012.

He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 1 February 2004, coming on as a second half substitute in a 0–1 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña. In the 2004–05 season, Ramos appeared in 41 games as Sevilla finished sixth and qualified to the UEFA Cup, scoring in home fixtures against Real Sociedad (2–1)[2] and Real Madrid (2–2).[3] Real Madrid Ramos during the 2010–11 season. Ramos in action in La Liga. In the summer of 2005, 19-year-old Ramos was purchased by Real Madrid for €27 million, a record for a Spanish teenager.[4] He was the only Spanish player brought in during Florentino Pérezs first stint as Real Madrid president. At the club, Ramos was awarded the number 4 shirt, previously worn by Fernando Hierro. On 6 December 2005 he netted his first goal for the Merengues, in a 2–3 UEFA Champions League group stage loss at Olympiacos FC.[5] During his first seasons, Ramos played as centre back, being also used as an emergency defensive midfielder on occasion. However, with the arrival of Christoph Metzelder and Pepe in the 2007–08 season, he was again relocated to right back, whilst displaying a goalscoring instinct unusual to many defenders, netting more than 20 overall goals in Real Madrids shirt during his first four seasons combined. On 4 May 2008 he assisted Gonzalo Higuaín in the 89th minute against CA Osasuna in an eventual 2–1 away win, the match that sealed the clubs 31st league championship; on the final day of the season he scored twice in a 5–2 home win against already relegated Levante UD, one through a header and another after an individual effort, taking his league tally to five.[6] Ramos scored a vital goal in the Spanish Supercup contest against Valencia CF, making it 2–1 to and 4–4 on aggregate in an eventual 4–2 win (6–5), despite the fact Real Madrid playing with only nine men for a long period of time. Although he experienced a slight dip in form, he returned to his best and on 11 January 2009, netted on an acrobatic volley against RCD Mallorca (3–0 away triumph),[7] continuing his scoring run in the following week in a 3–1 home win against Osasuna.[8] Ramos was named in both FIFA and UEFAs 2008 Team of the Year, adding the FIFPro Team of the Year 2007–08 accolade. He also finished 21st in the European Player of the Year nomination for 2008.[9] Just at the start of the 2009–10 season, Ramos was appointed as one of Real Madrids four captains. As Pepe suffered a serious knee injury during the campaign, he was often deployed as central defender, and scored four goals in 33 league contests, but the team eventually came out empty in silverware; on 21 February 2010 he played his 200th official match for the capital team, against Villarreal CF (150 in the first division). In Real Madrids 0–5 loss at FC Barcelona on 29 November 2010, Ramos was sent off after kicking Lionel Messi from behind, then pushing Carles Puyol in the ensuing melée.[10] After this ejection, he equalled Fernando Hierros previous record for red cards at the club, having played in 264 fewer games.[11] On 20 April 2011 Ramos started in the seasons Copa del Rey final, a 1–0 win against Barcelona in Valencia. In the subsequent victory procession, while celebrating on the top of the clubs bus, he accidentally lost hold of the cup, which fell under the wheels of the vehicle; the trophy was dented as a result.[12] On 12 July 2011, Ramos extended his contract with Real Madrid until 2017.[13] Early into the season, he profitted from an injury to Ricardo Carvalho to return to his more natural position as stopper. On 25 April 2012, in the Champions League semifinals second leg against FC Bayern Munich, Ramos missed his penalty shootout attempt, shooting well wide over the bar. Real Madrid went on to lose 1–3 and be eliminated;[14] as the league campaign ended in conquest after a four-year wait, he was the player with most balls recovered in his team, third overall.[15] On 9 January 2013, Ramos was sent off for a second bookable offense midway through the second half of an eventual 4–0 home win over Celta de Vigo for the domestic cup. He subsequently received a four-match suspension, after it was revealed he also insulted referee Miguel Ángel Ayza Gámez;[16] the following month, mere minutes after scoring the second goal at home against Rayo Vallecano and in less than 60 seconds early into the first half, he received two yellow cards in the eventual 2–0 home success, taking his red card tally with Real Madrid alone to 16, 12 in the league.[17][18] In late February/early March 2013, due to the absence of Iker Casillas due to injury, Ramos captained Real to back-to-back wins over Barcelona in just four days: he netted the 2–1 home winner in the second game, heading home after a corner kick.[19] International career Ramos playing against France at Euro 2012. In 2004, Ramos became an instant hit for Spains under-21, for who he played six international matches. On 26 March 2005, in a 3–0 friendly win over China in Salamanca, he first appeared for the senior side at only 18 years and 361 days of age, making him the youngest player to play for the national team in the last 55 years (he held this record until it was broken by Arsenals Cesc Fàbregas).[20] Just seven months later, Ramos scored his first two international goals in a 6–0 away thrashing of San Marino for the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. He was selected for the final stages in Germany and, after the international retirement of Real Madrid teammate Míchel Salgado, became the undisputed first-choice right-back. Throughout Spains UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, Ramos was a regular member of the starting eleven as the national side finished first in its group, above Sweden. He scored two goals, including one in a 3–1 away win over Denmark, in 11 appearances. In the tournaments final stages, Ramos played in all matches and minutes, except the 2–1 group stage win against Greece. In the final, his pass nearly set up Marcos Sennas first international goal, but the latter barely missed it by inches. During the celebrations after the 1–0 defeat of Germany, he wore a T-shirt in honor of close friend and former Sevilla teammate Puerta, who died in August 2007.[21][22] Ramos was selected in the squad for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa, as Spain finished in third position. At the 2010 World Cup, held in the same country, he started every game, helping the team keep five clean sheets and reach the final, which they won 1–0 against the Netherlands; he topped the tournaments Castrol Performance Index with a score of 9.79.[23] Ramos returned to the heart of the defence for the Euro 2012 tournament. When asked about his role change, he replied: “I have adapted and feel comfortable in the middle, but I am a World and European champion at right-back.”[24] He played all the games in Poland and Ukraine alongside Barcelonas Gerard Piqué and, in the semifinals against Portugal, he converted his penalty shootout attempt in an eventual 4–2 win (0–0 after 120 minutes), scoring for the eventual champions in Panenka-style.[25] On 22 March 2013, Ramos celebrated his 100th cap by opening the scoring in a 1–1 draw with Finland in Gijón for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. He became the youngest player ever to reach that figure in the process, surpassing Germanys Lukas Podolski.[26] Ramos training with Spain International goals Scores and results list Spains goal tally first. # Date Venue Opponent Score Result Competition 1. 13 October 2005 Olimpico, Serravalle, San Marino San Marino 3–0 6–0 2006 World Cup qualification 2. 13 October 2005 Olimpico, Serravalle, San Marino San Marino 4–0 6–0 2006 World Cup qualification 3. 13 October 2007 Atletion, Aarhus, Denmark Denmark 2–0 3–1 Euro 2008 qualifying 4. 17 November 2007 Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid, Spain Sweden 3–0 3–0 Euro 2008 qualifying 5. 3 March 2010 Stade de France, Saint-Denis, France France 2–0 2–0 Friendly 6. 6 September 2011 Las Gaunas, Logroño, Spain Liechtenstein 4–0 6–0 Euro 2012 qualifying 7. 16 October 2012 Vicente Calderón, Madrid, Spain France 1–0 1–1 2014 World Cup qualification 8. 14 November 2012 Rommel Fernández, Panama City, Panama Panama 4–0 5–1 Friendly 9. 22 March 2013 El Molinón, Gijón, Spain Finland 1–0 1–1 2014 World Cup qualification Honours Club Real Madrid La Liga: 2006–07, 2007–08, 2011–12 Copa del Rey: 2010–11; Runner-up 2012–13 Supercopa de España: 2008, 2012; Runner-up 2007, 2011 Country Spain FIFA World Cup: 2010 UEFA European Championship: 2008, 2012 FIFA Confederations Cup: Runner-up 2013; Third-place 2009 Spain U–19 UEFA U-19 Championship: 2004 Individual La Liga Breakthrough Player of the Year: 2005 La Liga Best Defender: 2012 ESM Team of the year: 2007–08, 2011–12 FIFA/FIFPro World XI: 2008, 2011, 2012 UEFA Team of the Year: 2008, 2012 2010 FIFA World Cup: Castrol Index Winner[27] FIFA World Cup All-Star Team: 2010 UEFA EURO 2012: Castrol EDGE Index Winner[28] UEFA Euro Team of the Tournament: 2012 Statistics Club As of 28 September 2013 Club Season League Cup1 Europe Total Apps Goals Apps Goals Apps Goals Apps Goals Sevilla 2003–04 7 0 0 0 0 0 7 0 2004–05 31 2 5 0 5 1 41 3 2005–06 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 Total 39 2 5 0 5 1 49 3 Real Madrid 2005–06 33 4 6 1 7 1 46 6 2006–07 33 5 3 0 6 1 42 6 2007–08 33 5 5 1 7 0 45 6 2008–09 32 4 2 1 8 1 42 6 2009–10 33 4 0 0 7 0 40 4 2010–11 31 3 7 1 8 0 46 4 2011–12 34 3 6 0 11 1 51 4 2012–13 26 4 5 0 9 1 40 5 2013–14 6 0 0 0 1 0 7 0 Total 261 32 34 4 64 5 359 41 Career Total 300 34 39 4 69 6 408 44 1 Includes Supercopa de España.
