5 Of the greatest goalscoring centre-backs in football history

#3 Sergio Ramos (81 Goals)

Clubs: Sevilla, Real Madrid

Ramos has been Mr. Clutch for club and country

Captain Clutch, Last Minute-Hero, Mr. Reliable. These and many more appellations fail to do justice to Ramos' goalscoring.

Having started his professional career with hometown club Sevilla as a right-back, going forward was something he has always done. However, few defenders in world football go forward with the assurance and menace that Ramos carries with him.

In the history of the UEFA Champions League, only four players have scored in two or more finals. It is no surprise to see the competition's all-time leading trio: Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Raul Gonzalez on the list.

However, Ramos has scored in two finals; 2014 and 2016, a record that even great strikers like Gerd Muller do not have. While not as prolific as the other players on the list who have scored triple-digit goals, the importance of the goals ensures he gets a pride of place on this list.

He has been just as good for the Spanish national team in terms of caps and goals; 17 in 161 games.
