Several years ago no one would have imagined seeing Sergio Ramos wearing any shirt other than that of Real Madrid. The Sevillian was one of the great legends of the white team and his departure from the Bernabéu left a void that was difficult to fill, no matter how much Madrid signed David Alaba to replace the eternal captain.
This Saturday, the reunion between Sergio Ramos and Real Madrid has been a reality . The Andalusian center-back returned to Sevilla this past summer to reinforce the defense of the Seville team and had the duel against his former team marked in red on the calendar. It was not for less. Ramos has always had words of gratitude for his Madrid and facing the white team is and will always be special for the man from Camas.
Ramos’ reunion with Carlo Ancelotti’s team has had everything. As a match point, it was the first time he faced Madrid since he left the capital of Spain in 2021. It should be remembered that he did not face Madrid with PSG .Ramos’ defensive work has been quite good. He has saved his team from several goals and has even scored a Real Madrid goal after a poisoned cross from Toni Kroos. With that action, Ramos showed that, despite his age, he has not lost his level in defense, something that speaks very well of his position. However, when he had to go on the attack he also delivered. Ramos had two good chances to give Sevilla the victory : a header with ten minutes remaining and another shot in stoppage time.
Sparks with Rüdiger
The Sevilla-Real Madrid match has been marked by refereeing controversy. De Burgos Bengoetxea has not had the best performance and even had two goals disallowed for offside. Throughout the match, the tension stood out above anything.

As a result of the tension, Sergio Ramos had a small hookup with Antonio Rüdiger . The Andalusian grabbed the German center back by the cheeks and once again showed that he is a quite temperamental center back. His aggressiveness in defense cost him the yellow card in the 79th minute of the second half.
Hugs with his former teammates
As expected, Sergio Ramos’ greeting with his former teammates was going to attract everyone’s attention . In the greeting before the start of the match, the Camas center-back affectionately hugged Dani Carvajal, Toni Kroos, Vinicius and Rodrygo.
He did not greet the rest of the footballers as effusively, as was logical. Ramos did not share a dressing room with Bellingham , Kepa , Rüdiger, or Tchouaméni, but he did greet them politely.Many expected the reunion of Sergio Ramos with Carlo Ancelotti and the cameras captured, at the end of the match, a loving hug between the Sevillian and the Italian.
Carletto has always shown a lot of respect to Ramos , as he recognized in the preview of the duel between the white team and Seville: «I love seeing him, greeting him… I have a special affection for him and if I am here today it is surely because of his goal. in Lisbon, if he didn’t score it he probably wouldn’t be here today.
