Sergio Ramos

Sergio Ramos met famous model, TV journalist, and presenter Pilar Rubio in 2012, and by September that year, the couple made their relationship official. The same year, the couple married. They have two sons, Sergio and Marco.

Before his relationship with Pilar, Sergio was known to be in multiple relationships. Some of his former girlfriends were Elisabeth Reyes, Carolina Martinez, Amaia Salamanca, and Lara Alvarez.

Sergio has maintained close ties with his family throughout his successful football career. His brother, Rene, has been working as Sergio’s manager ever since Sergio started his career.

Sergio Ramos was born on March 30, 1986, in Camas, Seville, to José Maria Ramos and Paqui Ramos. Seville was popular for its bullfighting tradition. Every other child from the city dreamt about becoming a bullfighter. Sergio was no different. Although he loved playing football, he wanted to become a bullfighter.

He grew up with two siblings, a brother and a sister, and was soon talked out of a career in bullfighting by his parents, as it was a dangerous sport. His elder brother, Rene, who also happens to be his current manager, introduced Sergio to football, and Sergio was soon addicted to it.

His parents were happy with Sergio’s choice and supported him by appointing a private trainer. As a child, Sergio had joined a football club named ‘FC Camas,’ which turned out to be a great learning experience for him. The club was where his real talents were revealed. He won many ‘Man of the Match’ awards and garnered some media attention too.

At the age of 14, he was acquired by the local club ‘Sevilla FC,’ which catered to young talented players. Sergio joined the club’s youth program. Finally, in 2004, he was included in the main squad, and a bright and successful career awaited him.

In the 2004–2005 season, he appeared in 41 games for his team ‘Sevilla FC’ and helped his team reach the sixth spot. This also meant he had qualified for the ‘UEFA Cup,’ in which he scored his first goal against ‘CD Nacional.’ His performance earned him immense accolades and made his entry into the major leagues certain.

In 2004, Sergio made a strong impact in the national ‘Under-21’ team, where he played six international matches. In March 2005, he made his international main squad debut in a friendly match against China, leading his team to victory. He also became the youngest player in 55 years to have earned a place in Spain’s national team.

He has played in three ‘World Cups’ for Spain, in the years 2006, 2010, and 2014. He has also participated in three ‘Euro Cups,’ in 2008, 2012, and 2016. In his 149 matches for Spain, Sergio has scored 13 goals.

Soon, ‘Real Madrid’ eyed Sergio and bought him for a whopping 27 million Euros. The deal was finalized in March 2005. He scored his first goal in December that year, in a ‘UEFA Championship League’ group stage match. His team lost by a goal, but his performance was praised.

His first four seasons with ‘Real Madrid’ were not as great as he had expected them to be. He was mostly used as a defensive midfielder and a center back, the latter being his forté. He was soon promoted to the right back position, which increased his chances of scoring goals. While most defenders struggle very hard to score goals from their positions, Sergio had no such problem. People were highly impressed by this. He scored 20 goals in the first four seasons.
