[Trending News] Sergio Ramos debuts with Rayados as the new captain and idol of Monterrey

Never in the history of Mexican football a footballer had entered the country with a record as large as that of Sergio Ramos. With 38 years, the Spanish has premiered with all the honors that his new club can offer him, the Rayados. Coach Martín Demichelis gave him Captain's bracelet for his first game in Mexico. Applause, show and victory (3-1) for the beginning of Ramos' last adventure.

With T -shirt number 93, in honor of the goal full of Ramos epic against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League final 2014, the Spanish central entered the grass of the BBVA stadium. The Spanish received a great scream when he played his first ball, as if he had scored a goal. Rayados fans wanted to pamper their new idol at all costs. The last time Sergio Ramos had put some football ankle boots in the match against Barça on May 26, 2024. His physical condition avoided thinking of a bad omen, but the game rhythm was the one who worried the footballer himself who already demichelis. It took a couple of weeks to shake the dust and enter the ring.

Ramos spent the game trying to accommodate his teammates and encourage them despite bad defensive clearings, such as Gerardo Arteaga. In the first half he had the opportunity to score his first goal in a header, but for more euphoria he only went along the goal. On another occasion he tried to close another good center from the right but his legs did not reach to make the goal. The Spanish left between applause at minute 80, in a game that sat well in his return. “A huge illusion of returning to the pitch with a victory, thanking the love and support of all the fans that deserves many victories this year,” Ramos said after the game in an interview that was heard from the stadium.

Rayados do not win the MX League since December 2019. Less than three months ago they lost the trophy to America. A little further back, in 2017, they lost the final of the finals in front of Tigres, their maximum rival and neighbor in Monterrey. So the club owners, FEMSA, have arranged everything to try to be crowned again.

Sergio Ramos's was a very Spanish debut. In the field he was accompanied by his compatriots Sergio Canales and óliver Torres. The opponent also had Iberian dyes because Atlético de San Luis is a team that belongs to Atlético de Madrid since 2017. The mattress team caused the Mexican club to change its identity (the colors the uniform) to stick to the parent team.

In Mexico, great players such as Pep Guardiola (Dorados de Sinaloa), Bebeto (Bulls Neza), Dani Alves (Pumas), Iván Zamorano (America), Bernd Schuster (Pumas), Míchel and Emilio Butragueño (Celaya) have paraded. But nobody with Sergio Ramos's poster: World Champion, two Eurocups won, four Champions and seven leagues. Other world champions have been, for example, the Italian Mauro Camoranesi (Cruz Azul), although he was in Mexico years before raising the World Cup in 2006; Diego Armando Maradona directed the Dorados in 2019 in a short time, but it was Atlético de San Luis who denied him to be a champion. There are those who can fight Ramos as the great star in Mexico: Ronaldinho, who stressed in Querétaro with a history of Gloria (a World Cup, a Copa América and a Champions League). The Brazilian was about to conquer the Mexican League, although he vanished in the final.

The signing of Ramos has revolutionized Mexican football that also has Colombian James Rodríguez in El Lion. Both former Real Madrid players agreed to move to Mexico with their sights on the 2025 Club World Cup where Rayados and León have an insured ticket. Ramos, a championship lover, wants to add one before closing a laureate race.
