With these achievements, the Real Madrid defenders deserve to be recognised for their amazing efforts during the tournament. Special credit goes to Sergio Ramos, who has been at the heart of the defence this season.
The Spaniard has been at an incredible level in the tournament, consistently producing rock-solid performances at the back. A hard worker and an incredible leader, Ramos played vital roles as Real Madrid made it to the final of the Champions League.
