Sergio Ramos against Manchester City? The Spanish stopper is on the PSG roster for the first time!
Sergio Ramos has been entering the PSG booth every day since the summer, but he hasn’t yet scored once. However, almost at the end of November, he got his health back on track and is in the squad for the first time.
Sergio Ramos has been entering the PSG booth every day since the summer, but he hasn’t yet scored once. However, almost at the end of November, he got his health back on track and is in the squad for the first time.
When Sergio Ramos didn’t sign a new contract at Real Madrid in the summer, speculation abounded as to where he would head. He chose Paris Saint Germain, where the wealthy management offered him a hefty sum on his payroll.
Ramos was a great choice for PSG. The man who would finally lead the Parisians to the coveted Champions League trophy. After all, who else but Ramos, who lifted the trophy four times and as captain led Real Madrid to a hat-trick in this competition.
However, Ramos’ commitment in France is definitely not going according to plan. The Spanish stopper has been labored with injuries that have plagued him since last season. Hold age cannot be stopped and Ramos’ 35 years must have taken a toll on his body.
Thus, he joined his last competitive match on May 5 in the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea. But it was a mistake, because Ramos went into the match from a volley. Before that he hadn’t played since March and wasn’t ready for the workload, but due to the importance of the semi-final match, he came into the game with an untreated injury, he recovered that and was putting himself back together until November.
Now, however, all is forgotten. Ramos made his first appearance at PSG training this week, where he met Lionel Messi, the eternal rival from Barcelona. And Mauricio Pochettino has prepared a little surprise for the fans, as he has already included Ramos in the nomination for the Champions League group stage clash against Manchester City.
PSG fans are also very happy about this small step, which they show in the comments below the post. Given that Ramos has only been training for a short while, he probably won’t jump straight into such a fierce duel and Kimpembe, Marquinhos or Kehrer will get priority.
However, even the nomination is a good sign that we could see one of the best stoppers in football history on the pitch regularly again. The era of Sergio Ramos in Paris begins.
