It marks Ramos’s first return to Madrid since his departure from the Santiago Bernabéu. While his path crossed with Madrid again in the 2021/22 Champions League round of 16 as a PSG player, he could not participate in that tie due to injury. Madrid advanced to the quarter-finals after a 1-0 win in Paris and secured a 3-1 victory in Spain, but Ramos did not feature in that decisive moment.
How many times did Sergio Ramos play against Real Madrid: history of results, wins and goals
Ramos’s time at Sevilla was brief before he moved to Real Madrid, which explains why his actual on-field clashes with the club were relatively few. In those limited meetings, he did not suffer defeat.
The first encounter came at the Bernabéu on 22 December 2004, when Sevilla claimed a 0–1 victory behind a late, decisive strike from Julio Baptista. Ramos started and played the full 90 minutes as a right back, and Sevilla recorded a clean sheet in a match that remains a memorable early chapter in his career.
The second meeting occurred at the Sánchez Pizjuán on 14 May 2005. It finished in a 2–2 draw, a result that still sits in Ramos’s memory as a significant moment. He opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a superb free-kick and again played all ninety minutes, this time as a central defender, contributing to a match that showcased his versatility and resilience on the big stage.
Ramos’s early appearances against Real Madrid helped shape a narrative about his development as a player who could excel at both ends of the pitch. His evolution would later become a defining feature of his long career, marked by leadership, commitment, and a relentless drive to win. As he faces Madrid again, the historical context adds a layer of sentiment to a fixture that remains one of the most storied in European football.
