4 Real Madrid players who are benefiting from Cristiano Ronaldo's departure

#3 Sergio Ramos

Ramos has become the main penalty kick taker in the squad

When Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid to join Juventus this summer, so many responsibilities became open at the Santiago Bernabeu and Spanish International, Sergio Ramos attracted a very decent one to himself.

The 32-year-old superstar has now replaced the Portuguese as the main penalty kick taker in Julen Lopetegui's squad and he has earned a brilliant start to the role - scoring all of his 2 effort in the Spanish top flight so far this season.

A defender with the soul of a striker, Ramos has earned a lot of reputation as one of the most prolific goalscoring defenders in the football world for the past few years. With Ronaldo's departure giving him the freedom to take penalty kicks, the Spaniard will only better his records in front of goal during the campaign.
