#2 No Ramos

Eibar v Real Madrid - La Liga
A leader in defence

Sergio Ramos is perhaps the most enigmatic defender in the world. He is always a red card waiting to happen and is often caught out of his position as he rushes forward to leave a hole in the back-line. When you consider these things, he becomes the most liable defender a big team could have.

But when he plays in the big games in the Champions League, he becomes an entirely different person. He becomes the leader that Madrid deserve and he always puts in near-flawless shifts in the back-line.

He is however set to miss the second leg of the clash as he got a yellow card in the 55th minute of the first leg.

As a result, Madrid will not only lose his astute leadership at the back, but also a world-class defender playing at his best in the most important matches of the season.
