Ramos, Ronaldo, Zidane: Real Madrid's 50 greatest players in history have been ranked | OneFootball

Sergio Ramos has left Real Madrid.

The Spanish defender confirmed the news in an emotional press conference on Thursday.

"The moment has arrived, one of the most difficult moments in my life, to say goodbye to Real Madrid," said Ramos, per Sport.

"Thanks to Madrid, who will always be in my heart. An era ends but it's not goodbye, it's see you later, because sooner or later I will be back."

Ramos played 671 times for the club, scoring 101 times and helping them to 22 trophies.

Former wonderkid but injuries ruined my football career (honestly). Once scored a last second equaliser against Charlton. Probably the biggest Jonjo Shelvey fan on the planet.
