In the funny world we live in, if it’s not Cristiano Ronaldo bailing out Real Madrid, it’s the incomprehensible Sergio Ramos. The star winger/forward relies on the centre back to share a load of last-minute winners, how peculiar. For a centre back, the Spaniard possesses a goalscoring record that most forwards in Europe would be jealous of.

In his footballing career, Sergio Ramos has directly contributed to 118 goals, scoring 81 of them. That’s literally unheard of in the world of football, both present or the past. You’ve heard of a ball-playing defender, but here we have a goalscoring defender that’s a different breed in modern football.

In contrast, Gerard Piqué has only scored 45 goals in 531 games for both club & country. I guess not everyone can be as complete and all-rounded as Sergio Ramos.
