The Spanish defender Sergio Ramos stated this Monday that he would have liked the draw for the Liga de Champions would not have paired their current team, the Paris Saint-Germain , and the Real Madrid , in which he was captain and played 16 seasons.
“I found out while at home. United was cool as a match, but the draw was not valid, it has happened and it is what it is. We have had Madrid. It is a mixture of sensations. I would have liked not to have that confrontation , but coming home is something very joyful on a sentimental level. Here I have lived the best years of my life “, he said in the presentation of his gym ‘Sergio Ramos by John Reed’, located in Moncloa (Madrid).

“Returning home to a farewell that I did not have because of the Covid – 19 is very special. I would have liked it to be otherwise, but I will defend my team to the death “, he assured.
” Fate is very capricious. I wish we had gotten another team. You know the love I have for Madrid and the fans and that will never change. It is time to face the present, I play for PSG and I have to defend my team and I will do everything possible to try to pass the tie. It is a very tough opponent, Madrid is going through a great moment. We’ll see what happens because there is still time for the game ”, he added.
The other recurring theme of the press conference was his physical condition, after only being able to play 90 minutes this season .
“I am happy after a few hard months due to the injury and not being able to be with the team and such a big change in a new club and a new city. I am very calm and totally adapted to the city. At last, feeling good after playing the first game, ”he said.
