5 reasons why Sergio Ramos is the best defender in the world

#1 Elite mentality of a serial winner

Real Madrid Celebrate After Victory In The Champions League Final Against Liverpool

For some, football is a game of the mind. The one who has the strongest mind wins. The fact that Sergio Ramos is receiving so much hate from Liverpool fans and yet he poses himself as indifferently as ever shows how much strength and character he possesses.

This mentality not only makes him a hard defender to get the better off, it also allows him to overcome the mental blocks and think like a winner. It is of little wonder that Sergio Ramos is the most successful captain of Real Madrid since the turn of the millennium.

Under his headstrong leadership, the Blancos have won three Champions League titles and one La Liga title along with countless more Super Cups and Club World Cups.

This is just testament to the elite winner’s mentality that he has. There have not been many defenders that have had to face as much embarrassment and hate like Sergio Ramos does.

And yet, despite many forwards getting the better of him, he comes back even stronger and, at the end of the day, has more trophies than those forwards.
