Club World Cup 2025: Sergio Ramos dreams of Monterrey vs Real Madrid showdown | OneFootball

Sergio Ramos

As he competes in the 2025 Club World Cup with Monterrey, Sergio Ramos is eager to face Real Madrid.

A commanding presence at the back and still fiercely competitive, Sergio Ramos is one of the driving forces behind Mexican club Monterrey. The team has already achieved its first major goal: reaching the round of 16 at the Club World Cup. Tomorrow, Tuesday, Monterrey will take on Borussia Dortmund—a major test for Ramos and his teammates.

For the former Real Madrid star, Dortmund is a familiar opponent. He faced them often with Real in the Champions League, especially during the Klopp and Lewandowski era. Monterrey will need to overcome Dortmund, and in the back of his mind, Ramos is also thinking about a potentially special quarter-final.

Indeed, if Monterrey advances and Real Madrid manages to get past Juventus, the two clubs would meet in the next round. The prospect of a showdown with his former club clearly gives Ramos extra motivation. The Sevillian continues to prove he's still at the top of his game and hasn't lost any of his hunger to win.
