#2 Sergio Ramos' headed goal from a set piece

104 career goals. Many strikers will be proud to have scored 104 career goals. However, Real Madrid's iconic captain has achieved such an illustrious feat and by so doing joins an elite group of defenders to have more than 100 career goals alongside Ronald Koeman (193) and Daniel Alberto Passarella(134).

Be it penalties, tap-ins, direct free kicks, headers or even cheeky panenkas, Sergio Ramos has scored the lot and would probably be remembered more for his ability in the opposition box and his mental toughness than for his defending.

One moment that really encapsulates the Madrid captain is his headed equalizer on 92 mins and 48 seconds in the UEFA Champions League final in 2014. That moment is one that Los Blancos fans would forever cherish as it heralded Real's sustained period of UCL success.

That header is by no means the only one. The Madrid number 4 has scored many other vital headed goals. An equalizer in the Camp Nou and UCL goals vs Bayern Munich come to mind.
