Real Madrid’s 50 greatest players ever have been ranked and Sergio Ramos finds himself in 13th place.
It was confirmed on Wednesday that Ramos will leave Los Blancos after 16 illustrious years with the club.
Ramos has won the lot with Madrid and captained the side from 2015 following Iker Casillas’ departure.
But 671 appearances and 22 trophies still isn’t enough for him to crack AS‘ top ten.

El Gaucho often gave a young Ramos trouble in defence and he was quick to remind him on Friday evening.

The 41-year-old uploaded an image of Ramos watching him strike the ball during an El Clasico match.
Ronaldinho wrote on Twitter: “Hey @SergioRamos – remember this night?!”
Ronaldinho was left with egg on his face when the Spain captain took to Twitter and responded with an incredible tweet.
Ramos attached an image of Madrid celebrating their 30th La Liga title and tweeted: “I do… but this one a few months later was way better.”
