​Conor McGregor's football skills were so good that Sergio Ramos invited him to train at his then-club Real Madrid. 

​McGregor, who was a 'goal-scoring machine' during his Sunday League days, took to social media to show off his lethal left foot. 

The clip shows the UFC superstar banging in a few goals with his left peg. He also tagged Ramos in his post as he asked for the Spaniard's verdict on his technique. ​

On Instagram, he wrote: "What do you think [Sergio Ramos]? We Are The Forge!!!"​

Ramos, who has previously used McGregor's 'Billi Strut' as a celebration, praised the 'Notorious' for his 'top class' work.

The legendary defender posted: "Class, mate! Fancy a training session at [Real Madrid]? More than welcome to join us anytime."

That wasn't the first time McGregor and Ramos interacted over football on social media. 

He tweeted out at McGregor as he shared footage of his impressive finishing during a Real training session. 

He also performed the 'Billi Strut' after the ball went flying into the top-left corner of the net.​

Ramos was due to be at McGregor's UFC 264 clash against Dustin Poirier until his move to Paris Saint-Germain intervened. 

Speaking on UFC Embedded ahead of the fight, he said: "He messaged me today saying he had to sign for a new club."

McGregor, meanwhile, hasn't fought since UFC 264 where he suffered a crushing defeat to Poirier.
