Ranking the top 5 players across Europe with the best aerial ability

#3 Sergio Ramos (PSG)

Ramos is yet to make his debut for PSG

Sergio Ramos is regarded as one of the greatest defenders of all time and his ability in the air is one of the main reasons why. The former Real Madrid man is an absolute brute as a centre-back for both club and country.

The Spaniard is uncompromising at the back, dominating the opposition with strong challenges and brave headers. Ramos also has a penchant for popping up in the opponents' box and thundering a header past the goalkeeper. The defender's physical attributes and leaping ability have helped him become one of the best centre-backs of all time on both ends of the pitch.

Ramos has scored 51 goals with his head during his long career, and that is sure to increase during his tenure in Ligue 1 with PSG.
