#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.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
