Sergio Ramos Sums Up Cristiano Ronaldo's Exit From Real Madrid

Sergio Ramos was in attendance at the UEFA Player of the Year event and made headlines with a cheeky touch of the shoulder on Mohamed Salah after winning his award.

But Ramos' fruitiness didn't stop there. On the mixed zone, the captain was quizzed about the decent departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, and what happened straight after Real beat Liverpool to win the Champions League, when global superstar Ronaldo made his feelings known, saying that he wanted to move from Real Madrid. The same thing had happened the year before,

"We found out practically when the microphones were being set up and we were surprised," he said.

"He [Ronaldo] does what he wants."

"Being the captain is a great privilege and a responsibility to lead a great group with different cultures," he said.

"Apart from being teammates, it is important to be a family, we have always felt that way and it is the key to success.

"We hope it lasts a while longer, because this is a golden age full of legendary players and I hope we can continue many years of celebrating these type of titles."

Ronaldo made the surprise move to Juventus over the summer, while Real Madrid face a period of uncertainty. Their manager and club legend Zinedine Zidane left his post unexpectedly just before Ronaldo made the move.

Ramos remains captain of Los Blancos and a contentious figure. No one can doubt his loyality to Real, however.
