Ramos is enjoying his joint engagement with Messi: I suffered for him for many years, it’s a privilege to have him in the team
Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi are in their second season together in the same team. The formerly irreconcilable rivals are now among PSG’s key players and seem to have a great relationship. Indeed, the Spanish defender confirmed this when he commented on the Argentine legend.
Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi are in their second season together in the same team. The formerly irreconcilable rivals are now among PSG’s key players and seem to have a great relationship. Indeed, the Spanish defender confirmed this when he commented on the Argentine legend.
In the first season, it wasn’t quite perfect from either side. Sergio Ramos was plagued by health problems, while Lionel Messi played fantastically, but did not score as many goals and assists as expected.
But the second year in Paris looks very different for both legends. Ramos is the leader of the defence, while Messi is the key man of the entire offensive line. On him the game stands and falls. When he is absent, his absence is very noticeable.
Their importance to the team is also shown by the statistics. Moreover, the Argentine’s great performance is confirmed by great numbers. He scores goals as well as setting them up and creating chances for his teammates.
There was a lot of curiosity when they both arrived in Paris in the same transfer window. Two irreconcilable rivals who have been “destroying” each other for years. Messi, in games against Real Madrid, liked to make the opponent’s defence into a calendar, Ramos, against Barcelona, often directed Messi with sharp interventions.
But now they are on the same team and they enjoy working together. “We are players who have the same goal. That is to win trophies with PSG and create a great team. Our relationship is excellent. There is a lot of respect between us and we understand each other perfectly,” Goal quoted Ramos as saying.
“Leo continues to perform at the highest level. He is still one of the most difference players in the world and one of the best. It is a privilege to have him in the team. It is much worse to have him against you. I suffered against him for many years,” the Spanish stopper added.
The Real Madrid legend notes, among other things, that anyone given the choice of playing with or against Messi would surely respond quickly and honestly by saying they would rather play with the Argentine phenomenon.
