Sergio Ramos looked out of sorts against the resilient Africans

Normally a name synonymous with 'consistency', Sergio Ramos was the worst player on the pitch last night. While it could be argued, that it's his own fault for setting the standards of his play so high, his performance was the lowlight of the evening.

Ramos' uncharacteristic lack of concentration presented Moroccan forward Khalid Boutaib the 1-0 on a silver platter, and the Spanish captain never seemed to recover from his mistake in a dismal showing in Kaliningrad.

In a very rare incident in the second half, Ramos was outjumped by the Moroccan substitute Youssef En Nesyri, who subsequently powered his header into the neat, as the centre-back could only watch the ball hit the net in despair.

It's hard for a back four to stay composed when their leader is struggling with his own performance to such an extent and Ramos' insecurity visibly spread to his fellow defenders.

Spain can consider themselves lucky to finish group B in first place. However, Ramos will have to provide his team the defensive stability we're accustomed to seeing at Real Madrid, if his nation wants to go all the way.
