Now is a better time than ever to make the case that Sergio Ramos is greater & better than his Spanish CB partner, Gerard Piqué

#3 He’s a captain, Piqué isn’t

There’s a certain added extra element of pressure that pertains to being a captain of a football team. At Real Madrid, despite the imposing presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos has been entrusted with being the club captain.

At Barcelona, Gerard Piqué hasn’t been rewarded with such an honour, instead, he plays second fiddle to Lionel Messi. To prove it’s not just a marketing ploy, Sergio Ramos is also captain for the Spanish national team, ironically a team Piqué is also part of.

Leadership qualities are what separates great defenders from average ones, some have it but some evidently don’t. In this scenario, Sergio Ramos will forever be greater than Gerard Piqué as he’s a leader of a nation, not a follower.
