Sergio Ramos set to captain Sevilla in La Liga clash with former club Real Madrid - Reports
Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos is set to lead Sevilla out against his former club in a La Liga clash on Sunday (February 25).
Ramos is a bonafide Los Blancos legend, having spent 17 glorious seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu, winning a plethora of big titles. That includes an unprecedented UEFA Champions League three-peat and five La Liga titles, among others.
However, the veteran centre-back left the capital club in 2021 and had a two-season stint at PSG. Having joined his first senior club, Sevilla, late last year, the 37-year-old will lead out the Andalusian side at the Bernabeu on Sunday, as per Madrid Zone.
It's pertinent to note that Ramos 'personally requested' the armband from regular captain Jesus Navas for the Bernabeu clash.
Ramos has had a decent season so far for Sevilla, bagging five goals and an assist in 24 games across competitions, starting every outing.
