And the winner of Sportskeeda's 2016 defender of the year award is.... SERGIO RAMOS!

With a whopping 64% votes from out readers, Sergio Ramos won the poll. Not only did he get 64% of the votes, he was the only defenders to get his vote percentage in double digits!

Ramos has contributed in all aspects of the game. From clearing the ball off the line to scoring the winners in the dying minutes of the match, Ramos has done it all!

Without a doubt, Ramos has been the best defender for the past two years. The Real Madrid captain has been named in the World XI more than any other defender – six times! But somehow, he did not manage to get a single vote in the Ballon d'Or voting this year!

Here is the result of the reader’s poll:
