#Career Goals – 93

Not many people have scored 93 career goals in their lifetime and when a defender reaches these figures, you know he is special. This is what makes Sergio Ramos the best goal scoring defender right now. Ramos has scored in every season since joining Real Madrid from Seville in the 2005/06 season and has been consistent in his goal scoring form.

He scored 7 goals in the 2014/15 season, however, his form dipped next season, when he found the net only 3 times. The 2016/17 season was his finest as he struck 10 times, the first time he hit double figures in a season in his career. Last season, Ramos registered 5 goals.

His goal scoring is a boon for both club and country and while his discipline and off the ball antics on the field have regularly been questioned, Ramos certainly knows his way to the goal. He has a bullet header in him and connects to the ball during set pieces very well.

Like most center backs, Ramos is a threat from set pieces, but what sets him apart is his desire to connect to the ball. He is very adventurous and regularly joins his team while going forward and has even scored from regular play. The Spaniard has also scored from direct free kicks, using his power to curl the ball into the top corner.

Ramos has already scored 3 times this season for Real Madrid and looks set to have another stellar goal scoring season. He is currently the best goal scoring defender in the world of football.
