Defender Sergio Ramos is put on a par with eternal rivals Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who became legends of world football in their lifetime. It is difficult to oppose him on the field, although in life he is an exemplary husband and loving father. The footballer’s exploits and good deeds often alternate with scandalous antics.
Sergio Ramos Garcia was born on March 30, 1986, in the southwest of Spain, in the city of Camas, located in the province of Seville. He is Spanish by nationality and Aries by zodiac sign. The boy’s father worked as a manager, and his mother was a housewife and in the absence of her husband, she was engaged in raising children (in addition to Sergio, the family included an older brother, Rene, and a sister, Miriam). Few people know that on the defender’s left arm there is a tattoo with the initials of his parents, as well as the first letters of the names of his brother and sister.
At a young age, the head of the family played for the local Seville football team, but due to a knee injury, he ended his career. When his youngest son began to take an interest in football, his father, despite financial difficulties, placed his beloved 12-year-old heir in FC Alevin. From that moment on, the boy began to devote himself entirely to his new hobby. From the athlete’s biography it is known that after signing a contract with Sevilla in 2004, the future world and European champion left school due to lack of time for studies. Sergio received the coveted certificate of secondary education when he passed his final exams in biology and ecology in 2014.
Having taken an honorable place in the main team of FC Sevilla in 2004, Sergio became one of the system-forming players in the team. During the 2004/2005 season, he played 31 matches and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. After that, a real fight for the central defender began between the leading clubs of Europe. Liverpool, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus tried to grab such a tasty morsel in the summer of 2005. In the final hours of the transfer window, Ramos was sold to Real Madrid for € 27 million. Sergio scored his first goal in his new place in December 2005 in a Champions League match against the Greek club Olympiacos. This did not help Ramos’ team much: in the end, Real Madrid still lost with a score of 2:3. Despite the defeat, Sergio was awarded the title of the best defender of the Spanish championship based on the results of the 2005/2006 season. In 2011, the athlete extended his contract with Los Blancos. At the same time, his salary increased by € 4.5 million thanks to excellent statistics. The following season, Ramos played 51 matches, scoring important goals. With his help, the team reached the final of the UEFA Champions League. And in the final, in a duel with Atletico, the footballer saved the team from defeat in the 93rd minute, scoring a goal with a header. In 2015, the club extended the contract with the defender until 2020. That same year, Iker Casillas left Real Madrid, and Ramos, who played under number 4, took the captain’s place.
In 2016, the footballer scored a crucial goal that prevented Real Madrid from losing in El Clasico against Barcelona (1:1). In August 2017, Barcelona forward Lionel Messi insulted a Real Madrid defender during a match for the Spanish Super Cup in response to a provocation. In the middle of the 2nd half, Messi was preparing to take a free kick, but the Real Madrid captain did not pass the ball to the striker, but threw it over the Argentine’s head. In response, Lionel made an unflattering comment about the defender. It is worth noting that Ramos has already had conflicts with the Blaugrana. In 2012, Sergio was given a red card for openly calling for a fight with Carles Puyol.
In August 2017, the Real Madrid captain attended the annual UEFA Awards festival. At the event held in Monaco, Sergio was awarded the prize as the best defender of the Champions League. Ramos’ teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric also received prizes. In 2019, the legendary defender of the Madrid club became the face of Budweiser, a company that produces beer. A limited edition of the drink, released in collaboration with Sergio, went on sale. Exact copies of his tattoos were applied to aluminum cans. Ramos also starred in a beer commercial as part of the campaign, which was broadcast on television. In September of the same year, the documentary film “The Spirit of Sergio Ramos” was released, consisting of eight episodes. It tells in detail the story of the footballer’s development, his path and life off the field. However, the film received negative reviews from critics, who called the work boring and banal. In 2019, Ramos never won the Ballon d’Or. Lionel Messi received it based on the results of the vote. The Spaniard commented on his defeat as follows: “We can introduce a separate Golden Ball for Messi and Ronaldo and award it to them depending on their results. And make another award for everyone else.” The footballer’s 2020 began with a conflict. After the match of the 25th round with Levante, which ended in a defeat for Real Madrid with a score of 0: 1, the captain criticized the actions of referee Alejandro Jose Hernandez Hernandez. In his opinion, the referee should have punished the opponent with a penalty, but did not. After that, rumors arose that Ramos could be disqualified for the game with Barcelona.
On March 1, Real Madrid beat Barcelona in the 26th round with a score of 2: 0, and Ramos’ team became the leader of the Spanish championship. However, they did not manage to stay at the top of the standings for long. The Madrid team lost to Betis (1:2), thereby letting Barca get ahead again. At this point, the season was stopped due to coronavirus infection. During the quarantine, Ramos and other members of Real Madrid FC were forced to self-isolate. The La Liga season resumed on June 8. The team took to the field against Eibar. The match ended with a victory for Real. In the same month, the defender was injured. During the match with Real Sociedad, he injured his knee. Doctors diagnosed a severe bruise. In the 34th round, Real beat Athletic Bilbao thanks to the only goal from Sergio Ramos from the penalty spot at the end of the match. But the match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League against Manchester City ended in defeat. As part of this tournament, Ramos scored his 100th goal for the Madrid club. To achieve this result, he needed to take part in 659 games as part of the team.
Ramos’ career at the international level has also been successful. In 2005, the footballer made his debut for the Spanish national team, becoming the youngest member of the team at 18. No one had been awarded such an honor since 1941. In the autumn of the same year, Sergio scored his first goal against San Marino. Over 11 years, he played 32 out of 34 matches for the “Red Fury” at major tournaments.
After Iker Casillas left the national team in 2016, Ramos became its new captain. At the traditional press conference before the 2018 World Cup, the famous footballer shared with those present his expectations regarding the qualifying match between Spain and Italy and said that the World Cup in Russia would not be his last. The Spanish national team reached the 1/8 finals in this tournament, where they lost to Russia. As of 2020, the defender has played 176 matches for the national team.
There have always been rumors about the personal life of the “creamy” captain. The traditional self-admiration of football players during the game gave rise to a rumor that Ramos prefers guys to girls. However, the speculations of ill-wishers turned out to be groundless. It is reliably known that at different times the footballer dated the winner of “Miss Spain – 2006” Elizabeth Reyes, top model Carolina Martinez and actress Blanca Romero. At the same time, in conversations with media representatives, the man has repeatedly stated that he only likes artists and models for their appearance, and he does not plan to start a serious relationship with a girl from show business. In 2009, the footballer began dating Amaia Salamanca, a famous theater and film actress. The couple often got into the lens of the paparazzi, but did not comment on the relationship. The romance lasted a year. In 2010, the list of the defender’s love affairs was expanded by one of the most beautiful and bright girls on Spanish TV – TV presenter of the La Sexta and Marca channels Lara Alvarez. The first meeting of the young people took place at a charity evening of the Alma Foundation. The initiator of the acquaintance was the charming brunette, who asked the famous footballer to give her a uniform with the symbols of his club as a keepsake. Despite the rapid development of the romance between Sergio and Lara, not everything was so smooth in the relationship of the lovers.
Brought up in accordance with the Andalusian traditions of Domostroy, the athlete began to insist that his chosen one leave her job and from a girl who now and then flashes on the pages of glossy printed publications, turn into a housewife obediently waiting for her chosen one at home. The TV presenter did not like this prospect. The ambitious girl did not want to change for Ramos, and he, in turn, did not want to put up with the fact that the lady of his heart often starred in candid photo shoots. In the end, both came to the conclusion that it was better for them to break up. Then there was an attempt to reunite, which in July 2012 ended in a final breakup.
Even before breaking up with Alvarez, the footballer met journalist Pilar Rubio. Later, the defender admitted that a spark ran between him and the reporter at their first meeting. The lovers did not hide their relationship and since September 2012 have been posting pictures of themselves in each other’s arms on social networks. In November 2013, the couple shared the good news with their subscribers that they would become parents in a few months. In 2014, Rubio gave birth to a son for her lover. The boy was named Sergio Ramos Rubio Jr. Just a year and a half later (November 15, 2015), another heir was born – Marco. On March 25, 2018, a joyful event happened in the footballer’s personal life again: he became a father for the third time. His common-law wife gave birth to his son Alejandro.
It is interesting that Sergio and his beloved were in no hurry to tie the knot. According to the TV presenter, she and Ramos simply had no time to think about the wedding: he was always at training camp, and she was always with the children and on set. However, on June 15, 2019, the couple finally legalized their relationship. The wedding took place in the city of Seville. And a year later, the large family grew: the wife gave the footballer a fourth son, who was named Maximo Adriano. Ramos doesn’t forget about his fans: the 183cm, 75kg defender regularly posts training photos and holiday videos on his personal Twitter and Instagram accounts. In July 2020, he posted a video in which he parodied McGregor’s gait.
