3 Reasons why Gerard Pique has had a better career than Sergio Ramos

#3. Ramos AKA Mr Controversy, Pique AKA Mr Stability

FC Barcelona v Real Madrid CF - La Liga

Sergio Ramos is a more ferocious defender than Gerard Pique, thus it makes him equally vulnerable to be cautioned and put his team in danger. Stats prove that Ramos gets a yellow/red card in every third game for Real Madrid.

Ramos has 151 yellow cards, 14 indirect red cards (two yellows), and six direct cards vs Pique’s 89 yellows, four indirect cards, and three direct cards. Ramos holds the unwanted record of receiving most red cards in LaLiga history and his temper often gets him and Real Madrid in trouble in crunch situations.

Apart from red cards, Ramos’s recent time at Madrid has been surrounded by contract fiascos and continued transfer speculations. In the past three seasons, Ramos has flirted with a move to Manchester United twice and has even had to organise a press conference to ensure he is still committed to Madrid.

On the other hand, Pique has never been linked with a controversial move away from the club and he is, by all means, Mr Barcelona - an epitome of consistency at the club. Pique is most likely to retire at the club like Xavi did and become a club legend.

However, one can never be sure of how long will Ramos remain at Madrid and the manner in which he will seal his exit from the Spanish capital.
