Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos says Barcelona’s fine form won’t last forever and Los Blancos need to be ready take advantage of any blip.
Los Cules won have earned high praise in recent weeks following the 4-0 demolition of their fierce rivals at the Santiago Bernabeu. They also emphatically beat Roma 6-1 in the Champions League.
Last season’s treble winners sit top of La Liga and have progressed to the next stage in the European competition.
But speaking to the media earlier this week, Ramos reminded journalists that things can change very quickly in football. Not so long ago, the 10-time Champions League winners were unbeaten in 14 games, but a couple of bad results later and serious questions are asked.
Ramos stated: “Football changes in a matter of hours and last season we ended the year really well and Barca were worse than us, but at the end of the season they won the treble.
“Now Barca are in good form, so let them enjoy it, because you never now how long it’ll last. You have to be prepared for both the praise and the criticism because, like I said, football is always changing.”
The 29-year-old was also asked for his thoughts on the Ballon d’Or shortlist, with Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar featuring this year and asked to pick a winner between the three.
“It doesn’t depend on me. I don’t know what criteria they use to judge it, but the three of them all deserve to be there. I have a little bit of healthy envy that I’ve not been able to experience a moment like being a Ballon d’Or finalist, but all three are ready to win it.”
