5 Real Madrid players who've impressed the most in the season so far

#2 Sergio Ramos

Al Ain v Real Madrid: Final - FIFA Club World Cup UAE 2018

Sergio Ramos has been the most consistent player for Los Blancos over the last few years. The 32-year-old has been the rock of Real Madrid’sdefencee since the last 3 to 4 seasons and this time too, the Spaniard has contributed during crunch situations.

Ramos had expressed his disappointment when Spain lost against a much organized Russia in the pre-quarter-finals of last year’s World Cup. The skipper has also showcased his ability to score goals more frequently and has shouldered the responsibility of Real Madrid’s defence with aplomb.

He has also looked sharp when it comes to winning the ball from the opposition combined with his intelligence to cut out a dangerous move from the opposition with his precise tackles.

He can also win aerial duels with his smart moves and has shown his brilliance during set pieces. Although Ramos picked up a red card against Girona on 17th February and will miss Real Madrid's next game, he still remains pivotal for the European Champions. His presence has always provided a lot of reliability at the back.

Ramos was struggling to find form during the start of the season but since Solari took over as manager the defender has been performing quite well. Ramos has enjoyed Solari's confidence and it has surely boosted the Spaniard's confidence. It has also infused a lot of intensity in the defensive set up.

Ramos is also a clever operator at the flanks too. The defender was included in the FIFA FIF pro world XI last year. His partnership with Dani Carvajal and Marcelo has been the key in holding Real Madrid’s defence together.

Ramos has also scored 6 goals in 24 La Liga games in the current season with 2 assists to his name. Ramos will surely be an influential figure for Los Blancos in the Champions League.
