Since then, together with the former captain of Real Madrid, formed one of the most recognized center-back pairs who led from behind the achievement of two League titles, two Spanish Super Cups, two Champions League, one European Super Cup and two Club World Cups.
They are not the only trophies that Varane leaves in Real Madrid. Before finally settling in his lineup, he added more in the period 2012 – 2016. But, with Ramos, they were the ones mentioned. Now, Ancelotti, who already knew both of them in his previous stage, is left with neither . The void, for now, must be filled with Eder Militao, David Alaba, Nacho Fernández and Jesús Vallejo. That’s all you have on hand except for some reinforcement.
