An injured Sergio Ramos may have been watching from the stands on Tuesday night but the Real Madrid captain still tried to get the absolute best out of his teammates.
The 35-year-old, who suffered a muscle tear on international duty earlier this month, was ruled out of the Champions League semi-final clash against Chelsea as his side recorded a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
Despite his absence, Ramos was heard communicating with a number of Los Blancos teammates in the stands at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano, hurling orders at the likes of Marcelo and Toni Kroos.

And it was a moment in the 87th minute that got Ramos especially animated.
Toni Kroos whipped in a delightful corner from the left hand side but to Ramos' disgust, teammate Raphael Varane failed to test Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy between the sticks, instead heading wide.
Ramos certainly got himself riled up throughout the tie.

He was also spotted celebrating Karim Benzema's equaliser in the 28th minute, turning cheerleader as Los Blancos perhaps undeservedy levelled the scores after Christian Pulisic put Thomas Tuchel's side ahead early on.
The fact that Karim Benzema's goal was Real Madrid's only shot on target says plenty about Chelsea's dominance in large spells of the clash.

Los Blancos are still in with a fighting chance, though, with the second leg being played at Stamford Bridge on May 5.
Who will win? Madrid or Chelsea?
