Sergio Ramos Compilation Goes Viral After Liverpool Fans Claim Virgil van Dijk Is Better Than Him

But a compilation of Ramos defending for club and country shows he's one of the greatest defenders in modern history.

A Real-supporting social media user backed his captain, taking to Twitter to upload a clip of the serial winner producing heroic defending.

The video is sarcastically titled: "Sergio Ramos is defensively not good, he is overrated for scoring goals."

Needless to say, Ramos' highlights got fans talking with some hailing him as the greatest defender in football history.

One tweeted: "Sergio Ramos is close to perfect in terms of defending in all its aspects including feet on the ball."

A second said: "It's clear Ramos is the greatest defender to ever play this game."

A third added: "If you think Ramos can't defend then one should change that opinion immediately and start watching him."

Ramos has enjoyed an extremely successful career, winning domestic titles, Champions League titles and, of course, the World Cup.

He's still widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the world as he approaches his 35th birthday.

Unfortunately for football fans across the world, Ramos won't come up against Van Dijk in next month's Champions League clash as the Dutchman is sidelined.
