The main talking point in the papers today in Spain as they continue their preparations for the World Cup by taking on El Salvador.
But there plenty of coverage about Real Madrid, and of Sergio Ramos in particular. The central defender played a key role in helping Los Blancos secure the Copa de Rey and Champions League trophies.
He even chipped in with some important goals, including a double at the Allianz Arena in the semi-final against Bayern Munich, and the last gasp equaliser in the final against Atletico de Madrid to take the game into extra time.
And now, former Real midfielder Guti has said if Ramos has a good World Cup, he should be awarded the Ballon d’Or next year. In an interview with AS, he said he was pleased to see Ramos has such a successful campaign.
Speaking about the Champions League final, Guti said: “I was delighted for him. He deserved it, and this Decima will always be associated with him.” He then went on to add that he will be in the hunt for the Ballon d’Or.
Continuing with Ramos in the spotlight, his Champions League final goal has been voted by readers of Marca as they best Real Madrid goal of the season. It took 35.6% of the vote ahead of Gareth Bale’s Copa del Rey final stunner, which took 33.5%.
This is why Barcelona has been dominant over madrid for the past seasons, puyol and pique scored some important goals during their great run but they all back messi for four ballon d’oir, Ramos scored 5 goals and all kinds of waste products are coming out of the woods campaigning that he should be given ballon d’oir, nobody deserves this year’s ballon d’oir then ronaldo, he broke and set new champions league record, laliga highest scorer and champions league winner, what more. It is that guti keep quiet and allow people with sense talk, for everytime he opens his mouth you sense the hate of ronaldo coming out of it.
Halla Madrid
