Top 5 Real Madrid Players This Season

#3. Sergio Ramos

The Spaniard played vital roles in the backline

Real Madrid would not have progressed to the final of the Champions League without a solid defense, especially given that they met some of the best attacking teams on their way. In fact, their defense has been quite pivotal in the campaign, with a lot incredible and error-free displays.

Let's give honor to whom honor is due, Sergio Ramos deserves a lot of credit for his spectacular efforts at the heart of Real Madrid's defense this season. The Spaniard has been rock-solid at the back, putting up great efforts to stop some of the finest attackers on the continent. The likes of Neymar Junior, Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, Paulo Dybala and Kylian Mbappe were all limited by the incredible Spaniard.

He has been at an amazing level, recording 22 blocks, 56 tackles, and 62 interceptions to his name during the campaign. Though a defender, Ramos can also surprise anyone with his amazing goalscoring exploits. He has been a real threat to opposition defenders with his incredible headers, having nodded the ball into the back of the net 5 times this term.

Such is the relevance of the 32-year old that Los Blancos suffer anytime he is absent. That is evident if you remember their recent 3-1 defeat against Juventus at the Santiago Bernabeu. His leadership skills, motivation, and hard work have played pivotal roles in Los Blancos' resurrection this season.
