Real Madrid v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Final
Ramos was a rock against Liverpool

There is simply no better defender than Sergio Ramos on a night when Real Madrid have a big game and need to deliver. The Spaniard is always up there putting out his best performance to ensure that his team don’t lose.

And more often than not, he succeeds.

Against Juventus and then Bayern Munich, Sergio Ramos did exceedingly well in the first legs but was on the wrong end of things in the second legs, respectively. However, he still managed to hold his own despite not being at his best and made sure that his team didn’t choke at the dying stages of the clash.

In the final of the Champions League against Liverpool, leaving aside all the controversy, the Spanish captain put in a great shift that closed all the doors for the Reds.

It is his charisma in the biggest of stages that also help his image as one of the finest centre-backs ever.
