The former Real Madrid captain has claimed numerous Champions League titles for the capital club.
The player who stands as a symbol of modern Real Madrid. That description fits Sergio Ramos. The captain appears in the photo commemorating the four European Cups his team won in five years, from 2014 to 2018. When he joined Madrid in 2005, Camas’ dream was simply to win the continent’s biggest club trophy. Though he once resisted that dream, the moment finally arrived, and he became the central figure of a night already etched in history, May 24, 2014 in Lisbon, marked by a dramatic goal in the 93rd minute. The question remains, how many Champions Leagues has Ramos won?
CHAMPIONS 2013-2014: THE TENTH
The Decima did not come easily. Many doubted whether Madrid could pull it off, yet Ramos played a pivotal role as Cristiano Ronaldo stood tall with a spectacular 17 goals in that campaign, the best individual tally in the competition. History took a decisive turn when Ramos extinguished the fire in Munich. Madrid carried a 1–0 advantage into the second leg of the semi-finals at the Bernabéu. In Germany, Bayern Munich awaited with everything. Ramos, however, set the pace with two header goals that shifted the balance in Real Madrid’s favor. Amidst a tense clash with Simeone’s Atlético, the captain powered a crucial late goal in the 93rd minute that levelled the aggregate score, sending the match to extra time. Madrid advanced with a dominant extra period, and Ramos earned his first European Cup tattoo as the team secured their tenth title.
CHAMPIONS 2015-2016: ELEVENTH IN PENALTIES
After a run to the final in the previous season, Real Madrid reached the European final again under Zidane. Ramos did not star as a protagonist on the road to Milan, where Atlético Madrid appeared the favorites in this edition. In a high-intensity first half, Madrid asserted themselves, and Ramos rose to meet the moment as his team fought back. With ten minutes left, Carrasco equalized for the visitors, and the outcome would be decided by penalties. The shootout yielded a flawless performance from Madrid, with Ramos showcasing composure to convert his spot kick while Juanfran’s attempt clipped the post. The eleventh triumph was sealed at the Bernabéu and on Ramos’ skin as he became Real Madrid’s first captain to lift the European Cup in that capacity.
CHAMPIONS 2016-2017: SAVIOR IN CARDIFF
The persistent Real Madrid claimed the Champions League in Cardiff in June 2017. Along the way, Ramos starred in the round of 16 tied to Naples, where he overturned a 1-0 deficit with two decisive headed goals. Madrid pressed on and lifted the twelfth European title in Cardiff, further engraving his legacy with another European triumph that season.
CHAMPIONS 2017-2018: THE CONTROVERSY WITH SALAH
Real Madrid faced a rising Liverpool side in Kiev, led by Mohamed Salah, who was undeniably among Europe’s top talents. In a match that involved a contentious moment when Salah left the field with an injured shoulder after contact with Ramos, opinions were divided over intent. Regardless of the debate, Gareth Bale delivered a goal that is often cited as one of the most spectacular in Champions League history, a bicycle kick that gave Madrid the lead. Bale would add a third after a Karius error, while Benzema had previously opened the scoring, and Zidane’s side continued their dominance on the night and in the competition.
