A very important player in world football distinguished himself this week with his club.
Because his relationship with goal is exceptional, there was something symbolic in Sergio Ramos taking the spotlight by registering an important pawn in the history of the Champions League. On Wednesday, Sevilla FC disappointed again in the most prestigious Champions League by conceding a setback against PSV Eindhoven (2-3), but the legend of Spanish football found the net.
By opening the score to give the Rojiblancos the advantage shortly before the half-hour mark, Sergio Ramos quite simply made Champions League history. The 2010 world champion scored the 10,000th goal in the competition since its creation in the current formula in 1993.

Ramos, still a prolific scorer
If this figure obviously remains anecdotal, Sergio Ramos’ offensive statistics are much less so. With 150 goals scored in more than 1,000 career matches, the Spanish international will remain one of the most prolific defenders in the history of football on the offensive level. A particularity that the 2010 world champion shares with players like Franz Beckenbauer, Laurent Blanc and Ronald Koeman.
