1. Ramos is a born leader
Ramos is a born leader and that is the sole reason why he is leading two of the most prestigious football teams in the history of the game. After Iker Casillas left, Ramos was handed over the captaincy at Real Madrid as well as with Spain.
Ever since assuming the role, Ramos has led Real Madrid to three UEFA Champions League titles in 4 years. A serial winner by nature, he led the team to a historic three-peat which no team has ever been able to achieve. He also led Los Blancos to their first La Liga title in the post-Jose Mourinho era in 2017.
Ramos was chosen to lead the national side due to his experience as he is the most capped player and has 170 appearances to his name. Although Spain have not been able to replicate their success under previous regimes, they are on the path of resurgence under Ramos.
The 33-year-old stands up for his teammates and the manager. He is the ideal man to lead a side as he is willing to take one for the team, his players and the shirt he dons.
